Betting on the Milwaukee Bucks (60-22 Regular Season)<\/b><\/h3>\n

Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Bucks looked like they were headed into another disappointing conclusion in Game 2, but turned things around in a grand way in the second half against the Celtics to take a <\/span>123-102<\/span> victory on Tuesday. The trio of Antetokounmpo, Khris Middleton, and Eric Bledsoe showed out. Antetokounmpo had <\/span>29<\/span> points and had two 3-pointers to stammer the Celtics\u2019 defense that didn\u2019t really respect his outside shooting. Middleton and Bledsoe, meanwhile, had <\/span>28<\/span> and <\/span>21<\/span> points, respectively, which proved to be the difference in this game. Back in Game 1, Middleton and Bledsoe combined for only 22 points on 6-for-17shooting from the field. Now that the Bucks have gotten their moxie back following that embarrassing loss to Boston, playing the brand of basketball they used to dominated opponents in the regular season is something that\u2019s both needed and expected in Boston.<\/span><\/p>\n

Milwaukee is 4-0 straight up (SU) and 4-0 against the spread (ATS) in its last four road games, dating back to the regular season.<\/span><\/p>\n

Betting on the Boston Celtics (49-33 Regular Season)<\/b><\/h3>\n

Someone should make a Netflix documentary about the disappearance of Kyrie Irving, who was a huge letdown in Game 2. After dropping 26 points on 12-for-21 shooting to go with 11 assists in Game 1\u2019s upset win in Milwaukee, Irving played like a drunk uncle on Tuesday, scoring just nine points on a forgettable 4-for-18 shooting. Irving\u2019s pathetic performance wasn\u2019t just the only significant thing that weighed Boston down. The team\u2019s defense and inability to keep up with the Bucks\u2019 3-point shooting spelled the Celtics\u2019 crash in Game 2. In Game 1, Boston gave up 13 triples to the Bucks, but had 13 of its own. That was not the case in Game 2 in which the Bucks sank 20 3-pointers, while the Celtics went just 10-for-28 from deep. \u00a0The Celtics need to close out better on Milwaukee\u2019s shooters, and while it\u2019s easier said than done, Boston can\u2019t simply just let the Bucks from getting their rhythm from behind the arc. Milwaukee is at its most dangerous when Antetokounmpo is abusing a stretched out defense by the opponent.<\/span><\/p>\n

Boston is 2-0 ATS in its last two home games.<\/span><\/p>\n

Writer\u2019s Prediction<\/b><\/h3>\n

Milwaukee wins, 115-110.<\/span><\/p>\n
