The Boston Celtics will try to move above .500 Monday night against the Chicago Bulls, while Monday night football and a round-the-clock college basketball tipoff marathon get underway.

NBA: Boston Celtics vs. Chicago Bulls, 8 p.m., Comcast Sports New England: Things haven't gone as planned early for the Celtics, who were expected to be amongst the league's elite but haven't really had a strong performance yet on the year, picking up three close wins, two against Washington and a third against Milwaukee. The Bulls are just trying to hang tight without Derrick Rose, and although they haven't played the strongest competition - their wins are against Sacramento, Cleveland, Orlando and Minnesota - they're out to a 4-2 start.
