Tonight in Boston, our Chicago Bulls look to put the finishing touches on what has been an impressive regular season showing against the Eastern Conference’s top-seeded Boston Celtics, a team they could easily face in the first round of the 2023 playoffs. Chicago is currently leading the two teams’ season series 2-1. The Bulls are also looking to improve on a shockingly competent three-game win streak.
The East’s play-in candidates (as of now) are incredibly bunched up, as the ninth-seeded Bulls (who are currently 19-21) are just 3.5 games behind the sixth-seeded Indiana Pacers (23-18), while Chicago is just two games ahead of the 11th-seeded Washington Wizards and 12th-seeded Toronto Raptors (both 17-23).
