Boston bounced back from an uncharacteristic bad-shooting night and routed the Bucks 109-86 in Game 2 when Jaylen Brown scored 25 of his 30 points on 9 of 10 shooting, including 5-for-5 from 3-point distance all in the first half and Jayson Tatum added 19 points for the Celtics. What is more impressive is that Boston won easily without Marcus Smart, who was out with a thigh injury and he is probable for this game. Meanwhile, Khris Middleton still is out with a knee injury for Milwaukee, which went UNDER for the seventh game in a row and the last two by an average of 24.5 points. The UNDER is 10-1 in Boston's past 11 conference semifinal games and the Bucks are 18-6-2 UNDER their past 26 playoff games as favorites and 18-7-1 UNDER their past 26 conference semifinal games. The Celtics have covered 16 of their last 21 road games and they are 17-5 ATS versus teams with winning records. Play the Celtics and the UNDER.
