The 10th win in a row will live or die in Chicago ...
Boston Celtics vs. Chicago Bulls by Andrew Hughes
The Boston Celtics look to reach a win streak milestone [10 in a row] in Chicago on Monday, November 21 when the Bulls host the hottest team in the league for their third match-up of a four-game set in 2022-23.
The Cs and Bulls have split their first two games, with Chicago handing Boston its first loss of the season on October 24 at the United Center. On November 4, the Cs got that win back in a close match-up at the T.D. Garden.
In this third match-up, Boston enters as a sizeable favorite due to the strength of their recent play and the Bulls’ own four-game losing streak. Most recently, Chicago lost to the rebuilding Orlando Magic — who were missing a potential Rookie of the Year candidate in Paolo Banchero. Before then, they lost by a combined 37 points to the Denver Nuggets and New Orleans Pelicans in their prior two match-ups. Overall, the Bulls are 1-6 in their last seven games.

Bobby Manning: Marcus Smart is back for #Celtics #bulls tonight. He said at shootaround he’s dealing with a bad bone bruise in his ankle that doesn’t require surgery, but could bother him all season. He would’ve played the last two games if it was the postseason. – via Twitter RealBobManning Marcus Smart, Boston Celtics, Chicago Bulls

Smart has a bad bone bruise and probably shouldn't be playing, but he's afraid not to!

Marcus Smart Expects To Miss Games Due To Ankle Painby Dana Gauruder
Marcus Smart, the reigning Defensive Player of the Year, anticipates he’ll need to sit out a number of games this season because of persistent right ankle pain, Adam Himmelsbach of the Boston Globe tweets. The Celtics guard is in the starting lineup against the Bulls on Monday but believes he’ll have to take an occasional game off the remainder of the season to minimize swelling in the ankle. Smart underwent an MRI and said it revealed a “really bad bone bruise” but no structural issues. Smart has dealt with numerous injuries since playing 80 games during the 2018/19 season. He appeared in 60 games during the COVID-shortened 2019/20 campaign, then was limited to 48 games in 2020/21 due to thumb and calf ailments. He made it through 71 regular-season games last season but suffered a quad contusion during the playoffs. Smart, who is averaging 11.4 points and 7.1 assists, has missed two games so far this season.
