Boston won its fourth in a row 128-119 over Sacramento on Sunday, shooting 56 percent overall and 54.2 percent from three-point range. Avery Bradley led the Celtics with 25 points and Isaiah Thomas added 22 points as the Celtics did not suffer a letdown after their big win at Cleveland two days before. Milwaukee lost its fifth straight 84-81 at Utah on Friday in the finale of a three-game road trip. Khris Middleton led the Bucks with 18 points in a game where both teams were bad offensively. Milwaukee has had three days off and appears to play better against the Eastern Conference where it is 6-1 ATS its last seven games and the Celtics struggle against teams that play well on their home courts. Boston is 2-6 ATS on the road against teams that have winning home records. The Bucks have been coming close and three of their last four losses have been by fewer than eight points. This is a good spot to play the Bucks on the moneyline.
