BOSTON CELTICS* WHEN: Sunday, 1.* WHERE: Boston Garden.* RADIO: WBAL-AM 1090; WTOP-AM 1500.* OUTLOOK: Being selected to play in the All-Star game may have been just the tonic Bernard King needed to rejuvenate his scoring. The veteran forward mesmerized his former team with 49 points as the Bullets (20-24) beat the Knicks last night for their second straight win. Now in sole possession of third place in the Atlantic Division, the Bullets have four games left before the All-Star break.

The Chicago Bulls will repeat as the NBA champions this season, according to the respondents to Friday's "It's Your Call" question.The Bulls got 85 of the 363 votes registered (23 percent), defeating the Los Angeles Lakers, who received 62 votes (17 percent). Six other choices were listed with the following results: Boston Celtics (13 percent), Portland (8 percent), San Antonio (6 percent), Utah (5 percent), Phoenix (4 percent) and Houston (2 ++ percent).Another 79 votes (22 percent) said another of the league's 19 teams would take the championship in June.

Opponent: Boston CelticsSite: Boston GardenTime: 7:30TV/Radio: Ch. 20/WWLG (1360 AM), WTEM (570 AM)Outlook: The last time these teams met it was two days after the Chris Webber trade and the Bullets were given a standing ovation after playing competitively in a 103-102 loss at the USAir Arena. Since then, Washington has won only three games, including none of the past seven. Boston is 12-19, but if the season were to end today, the Celtics would have the eighth and final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference.
