Boston at Milwaukee

Boston has the big three on the bench but they keep winning. Their win over Charlotte put them in the record-books for the biggest single-season turnaround in the history of the NBA. In two prior games this season, Milwaukee scored 77 and 82 points. Headed for the lottery, we don't expect much of an inspired effort here by the home team. And, with Boston's firepower on the bench, we expect to see more of what we have seen of late from Boston - low scoring on both ends of the court. The Celts have allowed just 42.6 ppg in the first half the last five games. We'll back the first-half UNDER here. We also like the Celtics to win and cover in this one. The backups are playing very good basketball and with the line adjustments, this team sill has value. They are 13-3 ATS in their last 16 vs. losing teams and 25-8 ATS this season as a favorite of 3.5 to 9.5. Milwaukee is just 1-9 ATS at home in April games this season and last. Boston and the 1H under here.
