I like the Bulls +6 tonight based on JB Sports, Tipps and USA Sports who all have them and are doing good.

The Boston Celtics try for their third straight win when they travel to Chicago to take on the Bulls at United Center.

Boston has won seven of its last 10 games and has a 6-3 mark on the road this season, which is where it will play five of its next seven games. The Celtics are coming off a 113-90 victory over the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden. Paul Pierce doomed the Knicks with 29 points and 10 rebounds.

"Usually when we get big leads, we tend to slack off and let the teams back in the game," Pierce said. "Today we kept the squeeze on them. It's good for us."

The Celtics are a strong 13-5 within the Eastern Conference.

Chicago has won three of its last four games and is coming off a 97-95 win over the Milwaukee Bucks.

Jalen Rose scored 30 points and Donyell Marshall added 18 points and 18 rebounds to the victory.

"As a competitor you feel you can take anybody, sometimes there is no 'D' for great offense," Rose said.

The Bulls, due largely to Marshall's efforts, outrebounded the Bucks 50-44.

"We are definitely playing a lot better then we were a couple of weeks ago," Marshall said. "We can't be content with this."

Chicago is 6-4 at home and has a 6-10 record against Eastern Conference foes.

The Celtics fell to the Bulls at FleetCenter in the season opener, but responded with a 91-69 win in Chicago on November 6 and a 92-82 victory in Boston on November 27.
