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

Payton Pritchard has been a bit quiet lately, and that makes this bet interesting. He plays for the Boston Celtics, who have allowed opponents to take a lot of three-point shots and grab quite a few rebounds this season. Still, he might struggle to hit the mark with under 19 points and rebounds combined against the Chicago Bulls, who can be tough on defense. The Celtics let opponents grab 43.6 rebounds a game, but Pritchard may not have a big role in that. Plus, he could be sharing the ball with other stars on his team, which might limit his chances to score. This makes the under 18.5 points and rebounds for him a solid pick, though it's not a sure thing.

Boston Celtics vs Chicago Bulls: Payton Pritchard Under 19.5 Pts + Asts (+130)

Payton Pritchard has been a mixed bag lately, and with the way the Celtics and Bulls match up, this bet makes sense. Boston's defense is pretty strong, especially when it comes to forcing turnovers and limiting scoring chances. They give up a decent number of rebounds and three-point attempts, but Pritchard's role may not be big enough to hit over 19.5 points and assists combined against a tough Chicago defense. The most concrete risk is how close both teams can be in their overall scoring. If Pritchard gets more minutes, he could surprise us, but with the Celtics usually having other players step up, it's tough to see him hitting that mark consistently. Placing a bet on the under for his combined points and assists could be a smart choice for this game.

Boston Celtics vs Chicago Bulls: Mitchell Robinson Under 12.5 Pts + Rebs (+145)

Mitchell Robinson has been a solid player, but facing the Boston Celtics can be tricky. The Celtics let their opponents take a lot of three-pointers, which might shift the focus away from the paint where Robinson usually shines. Boston also grabs a fair number of rebounds, so it could be tough for him to dominate the boards in this matchup. Betting on Robinson to score less than 12.5 points and rebounds combined seems like a smart choice. The Celtics are pretty good at stopping players from reaching high numbers, and they have a strong defense. The biggest risk here is that Robinson might still find some open looks or grab a few extra rebounds, but he'll need to work hard against Boston's tough defense.
