Milwaukee again has to recover from a playoff collapse as it lost to Miami in five games and then there was some offseason turmoil as the Bucks tried to finally sign Giannis Antetokounmpo to a long-term contract. Meanwhile, Boston won't have Gordon Hayward, who went to Charlotte, but the Celtics still have a strong nucleus in Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown and Marcus Smart. The Bucks are just 3-7 ATS their last 10 meetings at Boston and they probably should not be favored in this one as they're on the road against Boston, which is ready to break out and finally challenge for a championship. The Celtics likely will be without Kemba Walker for a few weeks, but they added Tristan Thompson and veteran Jeff Teague for added depth. Play the Celtics on the moneyline.
