Game summary

Boston Celtics vs Chicago Bulls is the NBA regular-season game on Monday 26 October 2026, and our model makes Boston Celtics the winner with the total points around the league average.

Why this pick?

Our model lands on Boston Celtics, mainly on the size of the gap in team quality: second of 30 on our rating against Chicago Bulls at 29th. The case against is real, since Devin Carter is out and Boston are short-handed. What keeps the pick upright is that the difference in level is wide enough to absorb it, helped by a home game and two days of rest against Chicago's one. The recent meetings point the same way, Boston taking four of the last five. The call is clear.

Total points: Our model puts the total around the league average: both teams' games have produced fewer points per possession than a typical NBA game, and the injury report takes more scoring out, with Nic Claxton out for Chicago, Devin Carter out for Boston and Patrick Williams questionable.
