Premium Pick

Boston just missed sending Game 4 into overtime as Marcus Morris missed a 14-footer at the buzzer after Giannis Antetokounmpo tipped in the go-ahead shot seconds before. The Bucks are still 1-6 ATS the last seven meetings and the Celtics figure to shoot better than the .414 field goal percentage the recorded on Sunday as they come back home for Game 5. Milwaukee is 5-11 ATS its last 16 games when following a win and 8-20 ATS its last 28 against teams with winning records. Boston has covered the number seven of its last eight home contests and seven of eight conference quarterfinals games.  Also, the Celtics are 9-3 ATS their last 12 games with one day of rest. Don't expect the Bucks to shoot anywhere near 52.1 percent again, especially in the first half when it burst out to 51-33 lead on Sunday. The Celtics will immediately clamp down defensively in this matchup as it's almost a must-win for the home squad. Play the Celtics for the game and the first half UNDER.
