A young Boston team has its rotation in order after some mid-season moves last month. And now they are playing well for Coach Brad Stevens (9-2 ATS run), winning three in a row and 6 of 10. The Celtics are #11 in the NBA in scoring, #3 in assists, and are improving on defense. They won last night and the Celtics are 16-5 ATS playing on no days of rest. Milwaukee also played last night, losing 117-111 at Houston and now limp home - a group hit hard by injuries. Their front line remains depleted. Zaza Pachulia has missed five in a row with a strained right calf, while Kenyon Martin sat out his second straight game with a sore left ankle. Larry Sanders served the 10th game of his 10-game suspension Friday for substance abuse, but is not eligible to return until he is in full compliance with the league's treatment program. The Celtics have averaged a plus-5.4 rebounding margin during their winning streak. The Bucks are 5-8 on the second night of back-to-backs while the Celtics are 5-4 and have won three straight. The underdog is 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings and the wagering value is for the visitors to win the game. Take Boston on the moneyline.
