Do you have your money on the Celtics? (AP Images)

The Boston Celtics and Chicago Bulls are set to square off for the first time since last season’s playoffs tonight in Boston, but this meeting could have a different feel with a healthy Kevin Garnett on the court.

NBA basketball betting odds have the Celtics listed as 12-point home favorites.

Now that Garnett is back and teamed with Paul Pierce and Ray Allen, Boston looks primed to make another title run.

After defeating Cleveland 95-89 in Tuesday’s season opener, the Celtics crushed Charlotte 92-59 on Wednesday, holding the Bobcats to a franchise-low in scoring.

Derrick Rose missed most of the preseason for Chicago due to an inflamed tendon behind his right ankle but looked solid in Thursday’s 92-85 season-opening win over San Antonio, finishing with 13 points, seven rebounds, and seven assists.

The Bulls now try to open with back-to-back wins for the first time since 2002-03.
