What to Know

The Celtics will be playing the full four quarters on Friday, but they're expected to have things wrapped up well before that. Armed with a few days' rest, they will face off against the Chicago Bulls at 8:00 p.m. ET at United Center. The Celtics will be looking to extend their current six-game winning streak.

The Celtics will head into Monday's matchup hoping to keep the good times rolling: they only won by two when they last took the court, which might have inspired the 32-point they dealt the Clippers on Monday. Everything went the Celtics' way against the Clippers as the Celtics made off with a 126-94 win. That 32 point margin sets a new team best for Boston this season.

The Celtics were working as a unit and finished the game with 33 assists. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as the Clippers only posted 18.

Meanwhile, the Bulls ended up a good deal behind the Magic on Wednesday and lost 133-119.

Boston is on a roll lately: they've won eight of their last nine matches, which provided a nice bump to their 15-3 record this season. As for Chicago, their loss dropped their record down to 8-12.

Friday's game is shaping up to be a scrappy contest: The Celtics haven't given up the ball easily this season, having only averaged 11.4 turnovers per game (they're ranked third in turnovers per game overall). It's a different story for the Bulls, though, as they've been averaging 15.3. Given the Celtics' sizable advantage in that area, the Bulls will need to find a way to close that gap.

The Celtics beat the Bulls 124-113 in their previous matchup back in March. Will the Celtics repeat their success, or do the Bulls have a better game plan this time around? We'll find out soon enough.
