Boston @ Chicago picks

Ayo Dosunmu has totaled 1.1 offensive rebounds per game over the last 10 games on his home court, 0.4 higher than he's totaled overall this year at home. Ayo Dosunmu has averaged 34.7 minutes per game over the last 10 games, 9.3 more than he's averaged in all games this season. Ayo Dosunmu will possess the home court advantage in this game. Playing with the home court advantage generally raises stat production across the board.

DeMar DeRozan has missed 2.8 3-point attempts per game over the last 5 games at home, 0.7 more than he's failed to convert from 3-point range in all games this season while on his home court. This year, opposing starting PFs have posted 14.5 points per game (14th-lowest in the league) vs. the Celtics, resulting in a difficult matchup for offensive output. The most sluggish pace team in the NBA this year has been the Bulls. The Chicago Bulls are expected to suffer a drop-off in possessions today from sharing the court with the 9th-most lethargic tempo away team in the league this year (the Celtics). Offensive rebounds continue possession and produce extra opportunities for scoring and assists, but the Bulls rank 8thworst in in the league with only 9.5 offensive rebounds per game over the last 20 games.
