    Chicago -2 is a must-play on Saturday

    Both teams on back-to-backs with the Bulls losing at Philly and the Celtics coming off a 20 point win in Toronto. Bulls may have been in look-ahead mode tonight while Boston had to play an up-tempo style (and ended up putting up 122 points). Factor in that this is a double-revenge game for the Bulls and that they always play the Celtics tough and I think Chicago should be a big play here on Saturday.

    I think Derrick Rose goes off in the one. He will play like he has something to prove and he should considering Rondo has gotten the better of him in past matchups. This is also the first time the Celtics will have to matchup with a fully healthy Carlos Boozer and that could pose problems especially with Garnett out.

    Thoughts on this one...

    I really like the bulls at home... such confidence in playing rather than road games...

    I honestly don't know what to think here.

    I like the over 187.5 better than a side. Bulls win in theory; should be a statement game.

    The biggest mistake some gamblers make is betting a high-profile, heavily-played game where the line is more often than not razor sharp.

    Remember, an NFL wild-card game tomorrow isn't worth any more than a win in a meaningless CBB diamond you can find in the rough. They all count the same.

    This is very insightful. I don't like the mentality of a "must play" game at all.

    Bulls because they don't want to go 0-3 against Celts this season, and of course no KG.

    I like the Bulls and the under 188. Bulls have a lot going for them at home and only are 2 point favorites and both teams can play lock down defense keeping the score low.

    Celtics on a b2b is usually fade material but the way the bulls have been playing makes it hard to bet on them. I think I'm gonna watch the line and see what happens there.

    2 most important factors imo are that the Bulls are one of the best home teams in the league and Boston is one of the worst b2b teams.

    I think Bulls is a good play here.
