Game-by-Game Predictions for the Celtics’ 2023-24 In-Season Tournament Schedule
By Isaiah De Los Santos
Group Stage Game 4: Bulls vs Celtics, Nov. 28
The Celtics will look to close their Group C play with a win as they face the Bulls at TD Garden. The post-Turkey Day schedule for Boston isn’t too difficult, playing on alternate days leading up to this contest, so thankfully travel shouldn’t be a factor here.
On the other side, Chicago could enter this contest very sluggish. This will be the final matchup of a four-game road trip for the Bulls, which starts in Oklahoma City and then goes north of the border to Toronto before heading to the East Coast. That’s a ton of miles to cover in a week, and there are no cupcake opponents here to provide any kind of break.
The Celtics will gladly take any kind of advantage they can get over Chicago after splitting the season series a year ago. Boston also notched both of its victories at home against the Bulls, setting the stage for Mazzulla’s squad to end Group Play with a 3-1 record.
Prediction: Bulls 94, Celtics 117
