Chicago Bulls vs Boston Celtics 1/15/2022 Betting Odds

Team	SP/RL	TOTAL	ML
Chicago Bulls	+2.5 (-107)	219.5 o (-107)	+110
Boston Celtics	-2.5 (-107)	219.5 u (-107)	-130

The Chicago Bulls are on back-to-back losses after being blown away by the title-contending teams Brooklyn Nets and the more recent was against the Golden State Warriors. Their current record falls down to 27-13 and they are just one loss away from losing their spot as the top squad in the East. The bad news is that Zach LaVine will not be playing in this game and if he does, he won’t be 100%. It is now up to DeMar DeRozan and Nikola Vucevic to carry the team while Lonzo Ball needs to step up in the scoring department. We should see more of Coby White with LaVine sidelined.
