Premium Pick

Milwaukee almost pulled out Game 1 and then shot the lights out in Game 2 and still lost to the Celtics 120-106. The Bucks shot 59.7 percent for the game and 41.2 percent from three-point range while Boston shot 53.3 percent and 41.9 percent from beyond the arc. All of this means that the teams can't continue on this pace and will focus on defense in tonight's matchup. It's a must-win game for the Bucks as they're down 2-0 and they'll have to clamp down on Terry Rozier and Jaylen Brown, who combined for 53 points on Tuesday. Giannis Antetokounmpo led the Bucks with 30 points and Khris Middleton added 25 points. When Milwaukee loses by at least 10 points it's 7-3-1 UNDER the next game. Take the first half to stay UNDER. Also, Milwaukee will play its best game of the series in this situation, so lay the points with the Bucks.
