Pre-match view
Boston has the stronger case, with recent scoring and home separation supporting a full-game edge; Chicago's best counter is an offense that can keep the margin tighter and a frontcourt that may get healthier.
No player-level forecasts are available, so rotation uncertainty remains.
Boston's recent scoring separation from Chicago supports the home edge, while Chicago's frontcourt health around Nicolas Claxton, Jalen Smith, Patrick Williams and Tobe Awaka could materially change the matchup; Devin Carter's reported illness is a smaller Boston depth note.
NBA rules: full-game winner, handicap and totals include overtime. The 48-minute result, halves and quarters exclude it.
Experimental forecasts: accuracy has not yet been validated against historical results.
