Milwaukee at Boston

The Boston Celtics and the Milwaukee Bucks have both been playing extremely well, and both have made the commitment on the defensive end. Boston has not found the shooting range yet, but defensively they have been air tight. In a season that has seen scoring on the rise, the Celtics remain as the only team in the league allowing under 100 points per game. Boston beat Milwaukee in four straight playoff games last year, and this one looks to be an extension of that series as both teams play for Eastern Conference superiority. The difference last year was the job Al Horford did on Milwaukee star Giannis Antetokounmpo. His numbers have been way down vs. Boston, and his plus/minus in the playoffs vs. Boston was -11. He is also only probable for this one as he is coming off a concussion, and may not be 100%. If you take Boston's season-high in points scored (109), and points allowed (113) it beats this total by half a point. Boston at home has not seen a game reach more than 192 total points this season, and they will be at their best here vs. 7-0 Milwaukee. Play both Boston on the moneyline and the UNDER.
