The Chicago Bulls will be looking to break a five-game losing streak as they visit the surging Boston Celtics on Wednesday night.

Boston is the slowest team in the NBA and has been hitting the Under with regularity, and I’m backing that trend to continue in my Bulls vs. Celtics predictions below.

Read on for the full analysis of tonight’s game as I break down my free NBA picks for Wednesday, February 11.

Bulls vs Celtics prediction

Bulls vs Celtics best betUnder 225 (-110)

The Boston Celtics play at the slowest pace in the NBA, averaging 98.1 possessions per game. That shows in their overall total numbers, with the Under holding a massive 34-19 advantage in Boston’s games this season.

There’s no sign that this trend is changing. The Celtics have now hit the Under in nine straight games, and not a single one of those contests has come in Over tonight’s total of 225 points.

Boston and the Chicago Bulls have played twice this year, and have hit the Under in each of those games. Tonight will be more of the same.

Bulls vs Celtics same-game parlay

Chicago will likely play without Josh Giddey or Tre Jones tonight, leaving them shorthanded against a much better Celtics team. 

I like Boston to cover even with this big spread, and I’m also taking Payton Pritchard to hit his scoring total, as he’s scored 24+ points in three of his last four games.

Our "from downtown" SGP: All about Vucevic

Nikola Vucevic got 23 minutes and put up 13 shots – including six from deep – on Sunday in just his second game in Boston.

My longshot SGP is looking for the former Bulls center to get even more run in a revenge game against his former team, with three targets that the big man has hit plenty of times each this season.

  • Nikola Vucevic double-double

He graduated from Syracuse University with degrees in Magazine Journalism and Political Science in 2003, and has covered major gambling events like the World Series of Poker in his career. Since joining Covers in 2022, Ed has offered his sports betting analysis primarily on MLB, NFL, college football, and college basketball games, but is willing to take on any sport.

His betting strategy focuses more on finding line value based on deviations from the market rather than traditional handicapping, primarily shopping between DraftKings, FanDuel, and Fanatics in his home state of Connecticut, though he’s not afraid to do deep game analysis to find profitable bets at any book.

Outside of gambling, Ed is an avid curler who competes in mixed doubles on the World Curling Tour and runs a popular curling YouTube channel, Chess on Ice. That experience has come in handy during the Olympics, when he has proven to be a successful curling bettor as well. 

Ed's advice to new bettors is to always open multiple sportsbook accounts and check the odds at each before placing any bet. Successful sports betting is about consistently beating the closing line value, which requires finding spots where one book is offering odds far better than the rest of the market and jumping on those opportunities.
