For the past few seasons, the LA Clippers and Boston Celtics have produced some of the most fun matchups in the NBA. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case so much

The Chicago Bulls head to Intuit Dome to face the LA Clippers in a non-conference matchup. The Bulls are 18-25, which puts them in 10th place in the Eastern Conference. The Clippers are 24-17, which puts them in fifth place in the Western Conference.

Boston will need to be vigilant that old habits vs. banged-up and lesser ball clubs don't make a winnable game into a struggle -- or worse, a loss.
