The Celtics and Bulls are facing off for the fourth and final time this season on Monday.
Boston and Chicago have had some battles this season, with the Bulls taking two of the first three meetings.
With stars like Jayson Tatum and DeMar DeRozan, you would assume those two players would take the spotlight for this matchup. However, it has been Nikola Vucevic who has dominated the Celtics in all three games, averaging 18.0 points, 16.0 rebounds and 4.7 assists on 57.5 percent shooting from the field.
This will be Boston's first time facing Vucevic and the Bulls with Robert Williams back in the lineup. Will the athletic rim protector be able to slow down Chicago's All-Star center?
The Bulls are trying to claw back to .500, riding a three-game win streak while also winning seven of their last 10 games. The Celtics still own the best record in the NBA, coming into this contest at 28-12.
