Many games will be played in the NBA on Monday night but I'm going to talk about Chicago Bulls and Boston Celtics duel. The start of the season hasn't been the best for the Bulls. They had a great win on the road against Miami Heat but it was followed by a close loss to Washington Wizards and they didn't have a chance in the home opener against Cleveland Cavaliers. On the opposite side is Celtics which has been playing phenomenally. On the opening night, last season's finalist beat the Philadelphia 76ers. Then 2 close wins on the road against the Heat and Orlando Magic.

It is safe to say that Jayson Tatum is playing out of his mind as he averages 34.7 points per game with a 58.7 field goal percentage and he adds 8.3 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 1.0 steal and 1.7 blocks. Jaylen Brown has also great start to the season and it doesn't look like off-season drama has influenced Boston in a bad way. There is not a team playing better offensive basketball than the Boston Celtics to start this season. They have the top offensive rating in the NBA and are shooting a league-best 52% from the field in their first three games.

On the flip side, the Chicago Bulls have been a disaster on the offensive end of the floor. They rank in the bottom five in the NBA in offensive rating, scoring, and field goal percentage. They have scored over 100 points just once in their first three games of the season. Even with Zach LaVine back in their lineup in their last game against Cleveland, they failed to break 100 points.

From a matchup perspective, the Bulls are a team that is not well-equipped to take advantage of the loss of Robert Williams for the Celtics. Nikola Vucevic is not a physical enough player to take advantage of any potential mismatches with Williams out. Instead, his play from the perimeter will allow the Celtics to play small and continue to have success when Boston has the ball.

In the last 2 games between teams, Boston has won and a very sweet victory was in the last game in Chicago - 117:94. It's not like Chicago is a bad team but they can't match with the Celtics right now. It's hard to see who's going to stop either Tatum or Brown while this duo can be very good on defense as well limiting Demar Derozan and LaVine.

周一晚上NBA有很多比赛，但我要讲的是芝加哥公牛队和波士顿凯尔特人队的对决。对公牛队来说，本赛季的开始并不是最好的。在客场对阵迈阿密热火的比赛中，他们取得了一场伟大的胜利，但随后又输给了华盛顿奇才，在主场揭幕战对阵克利夫兰骑士的比赛中，他们没有任何机会。与之相反的是凯尔特人，他们的表现非常出色。在开幕之夜，上赛季的决赛选手击败了费城76人队。然后两场客场险胜热火和奥兰多魔术。

可以肯定地说，杰森·塔图姆已经疯了，他场均34.7分，58.7%的投篮命中率，8.3个篮板，3.0次助攻，1.0次抢断和1.7次盖帽。杰伦·布朗在赛季的开始也有不错的表现，看起来休赛期的戏剧性事件并没有给波士顿带来不好的影响。本赛季开始，没有一支球队的进攻比波士顿凯尔特人打得更好。他们拥有全联盟最高的进攻效率，在前三场比赛中，他们的命中率达到了联盟最高的52%。

另一方面，芝加哥公牛队在进攻端的表现是一场灾难。他们的进攻效率、得分和投篮命中率都排在NBA的后五名。他们在本赛季的前三场比赛中只有一场得分超过100分。即使在上一场对阵骑士的比赛中，扎克·拉文回到了首发阵容，他们也没有突破100分。

从对位的角度来看，公牛并没有很好地利用罗伯特·威廉姆斯转会凯尔特人的机会。尼古拉·武切维奇的身体状况不够好，无法在威廉姆斯缺阵的情况下利用任何潜在的错位。相反，他在外线的表现可以让凯尔特人打小个子，在凯尔特人持球时继续取得成功。

在过去两队之间的比赛中，波士顿赢了，最后一场在芝加哥的比赛以117:94获得了非常甜蜜的胜利。芝加哥并不是一支糟糕的球队，但他们现在无法与凯尔特人相比。很难看出谁能阻止塔图姆或布朗，但这对搭档在防守上可以很好，也可以限制德罗赞和拉文。
