    Chicago Bulls -6 at home vs Celtics, b2b2b losses?

    Coming off 2 days of rest and b2b losses at home. Boston played a hard game today they had to of put all their heart into. I put my money on Chicago and hoping they come to bring a tough show at home for their fans after the b2b home losses. Thoughts?

    The spread has it as Bulls -8. Even at -6, I'm not too sure of laying so many points. I would probably buy it down to -4 or just parlay the ML with Magic and Clippers.

    Boston on fire of late winning 6 of 8 SU and going 7-1 ATS during that span, counting today as a push. Celtics look like they are peaking behind Rondo and getting Ray Allen back at just the right time to make a playoff push. Celts +6 for me, GL.

    Since it's TNT Thursday, your best off taking the dog with the points.

    Do you have any background info or numbers on this theory- or maybe know where they could be found? I've been trying to find a schedule with past nationally televised games with point spreads and results on it but havent located anything...

    I can understand the psychological logic that brings with it being an underdog playing in front of millions on TNT, but with the playoffs getting closer its about bringing your A game. Celtics played a hard game tonight and then loaded up to fly to Chicago (although Rockets did the same the other night). B2B losses at home has its own frustrations.

    Would be a trip if D Rose came back tomorrow last minute announcement. He's expected soon.

    Boston is 2-7-1 vs spread on road if it played night before.

    Rose participated in full contact practice on wed. You think they'll hold him out of this game? Pretty sure they want to get him in a rhythm before the playoffs start.

    Pretty sure books already have a good idea if he is playing or not. Books knew Bynum was playing yesterday against Clips and all I read was game time decision everywhere I looked till like the last hour before tip.

    totally agree. diehard Bulls fan here but I lean with Boston and the points. I took Boston at +8(bought 2).

    think this could be just like the Heat/Thunder game last night....PLAYOFF ATMOSPHERE!!! especially if Rose laces em up..

    C's are atrocious in b2b 5-10 ATS. But the way they play ball recently. It might be a coin flip. Bulls are wearing out right now. Also heard that D-Rose practice a full contact practice for the first time since he was hurt. Under or no play for me on the total tho.
