The Boston Celtics have been one of the best teams in the NBA over the past couple of months. After a slow start to the season, coach Ime Udoka was able to turn things around with the Celtics by improving their defensive game and making some changes to their playing style.

Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown have been the main reasons behind their rise to form. After receiving a lot of criticism for underperforming to the expected standards, the young guns started to show their ability and since then have been difficult to stop. Brown has an offensive rating of 109. 4, while Tatum has a rating of 113.2, which indicates how good they have been over the past couple of games.

Going into the game against the Bulls, the Celtics will be looking to bag a win as that will help them stay in second place. They are in terrific form, but the Bulls are not a side that can be taken lightly.

The Bulls were one of the best teams in the NBA prior to the All-Star Break. However, things have not been the same for them since then as they have lost 13 of the 20 games they played during this period. DeMar DeRozan has put up some big performances, but despite his efforts, the team has failed to find wins with consistency.

Their defense has not been up to the mark, which is considered to be one of the main reasons why they have failed. Lonzo Ball has also been ruled out for the season, which is a big setback for them. With him out, the team loses a player that could handle the basketball and also make key defensive plays on the floor.
