The Chicago Bulls have a pretty firm grasp on first place in the Eastern Conference, but the Boston Celtics have one last chance to close the gap — the clubs meet in an NBA betting matchup this Thursday.
After a long middling streak, Boston (54-23, 36-39-2 ATS) is seemingly back on its feet. The Celtics have won three of their past four games, including back-to-back victories. Boston beat Philadelphia 99-82 on Tuesday, improving to 3-1 in its last four games against the spread.
The most positive sign is a suddenly resurgent offense. The Celtics were in a brutal scoring slump, but they’re averaging 102.3 points in their past three victories. The biggest reason for the turnaround is, without question, Rajon Rondo. Rondo has been accused of mailing in the season since his close friend Kendrick Perkins was shipped to Oklahoma City.
Whether it was injuries or the Perkins trade, Rondo was playing awful. Not anymore. He’s averaging 15.4 points and 10.8 assists over his past five games and doing a much better job attacking the basket. Rondo had 16 points and 13 assists in Tuesday’s win over Philly. The Celtics now have 11/2 odds of winning the NBA championship.
Chicago (57-20, 47-29-1 ATS) has quickly bounced back from a loss to the 76ers, winning its past four games. Chicago topped Phoenix 97-94 on Tuesday but failed to cover—dropping to 0-3 in its last three outings against the spread.
But injuries continue to plague the team. Joakim Noah has missed 34 games this season. He just missed three games with a sprained ankle but returned against the Suns; Noah was solid, racking up 12 points, four assists and four steals, but had just four rebounds (he’s averaging 10.9 per game on the season).
Carlos Boozer missed practice this week because he was feeling ill, but that didn’t stop him from playing against the Suns. He was solid, posting 12 points, nine rebounds and seven assists.
