The Boston Celtics are set to host the Chicago Bulls at the TD Garden on Monday, January 5, in a National Basketball Association (NBA) 2025–26 fixture. The Celtics enter the matchup looking to extend their three-game winning streak, while the Bulls arrive in Massachusetts aiming to bounce back from a recent stumble and improve their standing in a competitive Eastern Conference. Jaylen Brown continues to lead the charge for the hosts, currently 6th in the league in scoring, while the Bulls rely on a balanced offensive attack led by veteran Nikola Vucevic. Stephen Curry's Third-Quarter Explosion Fuels Golden State Warriors' Victory Over Utah Jazz in NBA 2025-26.

Boston, currently holding a 22-12 record, sits 3rd in the Eastern Conference and remains within striking distance of the top-seeded Detroit Pistons. Despite their strong form, coach Joe Mazzulla’s side continues to navigate the season without superstar Jayson Tatum, who remains sidelined following Achilles surgery. The Celtics are coming off a high-scoring 146-115 victory over the Los Angeles Clippers and will look to maintain that offensive rhythm behind Brown’s 30.1 points per game and the playmaking of Derrick White.

The Chicago Bulls, holding a 17-18 record and positioned in the middle of the Eastern Conference pack, face their own roster hurdles. The team is dealing with a significant depth challenge as Josh Giddey (hamstring) remains out and Coby White is listed as questionable with a calf strain. To pull off an upset on the road, coach Billy Donovan will lean heavily on Nikola Vucevic, who is averaging 16.5 points and 8.9 rebounds, alongside the emerging Matas Buzelis and the defensive versatility of Isaac Okoro.
