The Bulls host the Celtics at the United Center, on behalf of the NBA Cup, in Group C of the Eastern Conference. The locals are going through a difficult start to the season, with a record of 8 wins and 12 defeats after 20 matches. The franchise seems in limbo, especially since it lost its leader, DeMar DeRozan, who left to strengthen Sacramento in the offseason. This departure constitutes a serious blow for an already weakened team. With a less competitive squad, the season could be long and trying. Last year, Chicago finished in a modest 9th place in the Eastern Conference (39 wins for 43 losses), and no improvement is on the horizon for the moment.
Boston started the season with a bang, led by a sparkling Jayson Tatum, who averaged a remarkable 28.4 points per game. With 15 victories for only 3 defeats, the Celtics confirm their status and have already established themselves as one of the main dominant forces in the Eastern Conference. They are notably on an impressive series of 6 victories in a row. The visitors continue their quest for success, determined to defend their crown as NBA champions.
