Thursday, 12 February 2026
02h30
Boston Celtics will play host to a struggling Chicago Bulls side in the National Basketball Association (NBA) regular season match on 12 February.
Head-to-Head
This will be the 250th meeting between the two teams in the regular season since their first game in the 1966–67 season, which was the Bulls' first as an expansion franchise.
The Celtics have dominated this rivalry, having recorded 138 wins compared to the Bulls' 111 victories from 249 matches.
Most recent meeting
The Bulls defeated the Celtics, 114-111, at the United Center in Chicago on 25 January.
Kevin Huerter was the outstanding performer, hitting a dramatic game-winning three-pointer just before the buzzer (with 0.2 seconds left) to secure the victory for the Bulls.
Key Players
With Jayson Tatum absent due to injury, Jaylen Brown has stepped up as the Celtics' clear leader and MVP candidate, delivering massive scoring outbursts.
While Josh Giddey is the Bulls' primary playmaker and leading scorer in the post-trade deadline rebuild, he has emerged as the clear offensive engine and focal point of the team.
Quotes
“I think we’re up to 15 or 17 different ones, so nothing’s changed,” Celtics coach Joe Mazzulla said as he explained how the trade deadline did not disrupt his team’s structure.
“Everybody on our roster has a chance to impact winning. We have a chance to develop and do different things there. So whether it’s before or after the trade deadline, nothing changes in our approach.
"How do we have flexibility? How do we know everyone on the roster has a chance to impact winning? We just keep developing identities and whatnot.”
