Bulls Trying to Jump Seeds with Struggling Celtics in Town Monday Night

Bulls Trying to Jump Seeds with Struggling Celtics in Town Monday Night

Bulls want to move into third-seed in East

With a playoff spot already secure, the Bulls will now focus on moving into the third-seed in the Eastern Conference for the post-season. Right now, they are the four-seed and are just one-game behind the Toronto Raptors for the higher seed. A higher seed would clinch home-court advantage for the Bulls in the first round of the playoffs and possibly the second round. Chicago is priming itself for a deep playoff run.

Celtics ready for dismal season to come to an end

Boston wants nothing more than for this season to end as soon as possible. The Celtics are just 23-50 this year and have just eight wins on the road. They have lost four straight games and are close to the basement of the Eastern Conference, but not completely underground. They dropped the first game of this home-and-home with Chicago in Boston on Sunday by five points. They will surely be out to return the favor when the ball hits the court on Monday night.

We head over to the online betting site of Sportsbook.ag to find the odds for tonight’s NBA contest in Chicago. The Bulls are 9.5-point home chalk in this game, which is why we will lay the line with 15 percent of our bankroll on Monday night as the Bulls move closer to a higher seed.
