Chicago at Boston

Boston beat Chicago 134-99 on Monday, October 26, and Payton Pritchard made all five of his three-point attempts in the third quarter on the way to 28 points. Boston's other three games this season were a 121-113 loss at Detroit, a 107-103 win over New York, and a 125-124 overtime win over Brooklyn on Tuesday that ended on a Jayson Tatum buzzer-beater. Added together, those three games leave Boston outscored by 3 points. Chicago is 1-4, with a 43-point loss at Toronto and that 35-point loss in Boston. The other three games were a 132-125 win at Milwaukee, a 124-120 loss to Washington and a 133-127 loss to New York on Wednesday, each decided by seven points or fewer. The Bulls scored at least 120 in all three, and Powell had 30 against the Knicks. Chicago played the first Boston game without Nic Claxton and is without him again, so the roster that took the 35-point loss is the one on the floor. I'm on Chicago on the spread: Boston has won one game by more than four points this season, and it came against this opponent.
