In his playoff debut, Rose had 36 points and 11 assists in a 105-103 overtime win at the Celtics’ home Saturday.

One area where the 8.5-point underdog Bulls must improve is against Rajon Rondo, who had 29 points, nine rebounds, and seven assists. The Celtics might be better off if he scored fewer points and had more assists to Paul Pierce and Ray Allen.

Even though the favorite is 9-3 over the last 12 games between these teams, Chicago is 5-1 ATS in their last six games as a road underdog.

Can the Bulls pull off another shocking upset and head back to the Windy City up 2-0 in the series? Check out the Bodog Sportsbook for the best NBA basketball odds.
