The Chicago Bulls were unable to beat the Boston Celtics on the road without Derrick Rose last weekend. It seems they must try to do it again minus their injured star at home this time.
Boston Celtics vs Chicago Bulls
With Rose likely to miss his fourth consecutive game because of back problems, the Eastern Conference-leading Bulls look to avenge their latest defeat while trying for a fourth consecutive home victory over the struggling Celtics on Thursday night.
Despite shooting 38.6 percent and committing 13 turnovers, Chicago (24-7) remained competitive without Rose during Sunday's 95-91 loss at Boston that snapped a five-game winning streak to conclude a 6-3 road trip.
"We got out-competed," Chicago forward Joakim Noah said.
The Bulls hope that will not be case Thursday as it appears Rose will again sit with a strained lower back. He remains day to day.
"(My back's) getting better," said Rose, averaging 22.0 points and 7.8 assists. "I shouldn't have any problems in the long run. I'm going to take my time and be smart."
