A former champion with the Boston Celtics recently made a bold statement regarding Denver Nuggets star Nikola Jokić's MVP chances.

Boston Celtics legend and NBA Hall of Famer Kevin Garnett came up with a wild comparison for the Nuggets superstar, claiming he resembles Wilt Chamberlain.

Even if Boston wins, our Bulls vs Celtics predictions don't anticipate a massive blowout as the spread suggests.

Garnett called Jokic the modern-day Chamberlain alongside Hall of Fame forward Paul Pierce in a recent episode of KG Certified. “Joker is Wilt. Joker is doing Wilt [Chamberlain] like s***, bro,” Garnett said.

The Bulls are currently 11-11 on the road with a point differential of -3, while the Celtics have a 4-6 record in their last ten games at home.

Karl-Anthony Towns put Nikola Jokic into early foul trouble then Jalen Brunson orchestrated the New York Knicks’ late spurt to roll to their fifth straight victory.

James L. Edwards III, Fred Katz and Jay King analyze the Eastern Conference at the halfway point of the season.

After Houston’s 114-112 victory, Brown said Boston entered the game intending to neutralize Jalen Green, Fred VanVleet and Alperen Sengun. The Celtics accomplished that, holding the Rockets’ top three leading scorers to 30 total points on 9-of-32 shooting (3-for-14 on 3-pointers).

During his time suiting up for Boston, Williams wore only jersey No. 11 and put up 7.3 points, 2.2 rebounds, 2.5 assists, and 1.2 steals per game.

With another historic performance, Brunson is now tied with Richie Guerin for the most 30-point, 10-assist games in Knicks history. Additionally, he is also on track to become the only player in NBA history to average 25+ points, 7+ assists, and fewer than 2.5 turnovers in a single season — a testament to his efficiency and leadership.
