Our Boston Celtics vs Milwaukee Bucks Prediction
Considering this match features arguably the two best teams in the league, it comes as a surprise to see such a hefty line. It likely means that Antetokounmpo may miss out here, but the Celtics could be without Brown, Holiday and Hauser, which should level things out. This line feels a little disrespectful to the Bucks, especially after blowing this opponent away a couple of months ago. This should be a high-quality matchup, but we’re backing the visitors to get the cover. Our Boston Celtics vs Milwaukee Bucks prediction: Milwaukee Bucks +8.5.
All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
