Boston Celtics vs Chicago Bulls Prediction & Picks, October 26, 2026

Payton Pritchard has been a solid player for the Boston Celtics, but he hasn't been grabbing a ton of rebounds lately. When you look at the stats, he's been averaging under 17.5 points and rebounds combined in recent games. The Celtics also tend to allow a good number of three-point shots, which could keep him from getting the ball as much as needed to reach that total. The Celtics force turnovers well, but they give up a decent amount of rebounds too. With the Chicago Bulls coming to town, Pritchard might find it tough to rack up those stats against a team that can score efficiently. There's a real chance he falls short of that 17.5 mark, so this bet feels like a smart choice.

Boston Celtics vs Chicago Bulls: Mitchell Robinson Under 12.5 Pts + Rebs (+140)

Mitchell Robinson has been a solid player lately, but he might struggle against the Boston Celtics. They give up a lot of three-point shots but are also known for controlling the boards, allowing only slightly more rebounds than the average team. This can make it tough for Robinson to rack up points and rebounds together. With the Celtics forcing turnovers at a lower rate than the league average, Chicago might not have many extra chances to score either. Since the teams are closely matched and both can play tough defense, taking the under on Robinson's points and rebounds at 12.5 feels like a smart move, even if it's not a sure thing. The most concrete risk here is that Robinson could surprise everyone with a big game.

Boston Celtics vs Chicago Bulls: Payton Pritchard Under 21.5 Pts + Rebs + Asts (+145)

Payton Pritchard has been a bit quiet lately, and with the Boston Celtics playing solid defense, now seems like a good time to bet on him to score under 21.5 points, rebounds, and assists combined. The Celtics have a history of limiting scoring chances, and they force turnovers often, which can make it tough for players to rack up stats. The Celtics allow their opponents to take a lot of three-point shots, but they usually do a good job of controlling the boards and not giving up too many second chances. There's a chance Pritchard might get overshadowed by stronger players in this matchup, which could keep his total below that 21.5 mark.
