The Milwaukee Bucks and Boston Celtics meet Monday in NBA action at the TD Garden. The Milwaukee Bucks look for a win after winning 12 of their last 14 games. The Boston Celtics need a win to snap a three-game losing streak.

The Milwaukee Bucks are averaging 110.8 points on 45.4 percent shooting and allowing 106.5 points on 43.4 percent shooting. Giannis Antetokounmpo is averaging 27.6 points and 11.8 rebounds, while Khris Middleton is averaging 18.2 points and 5.1 assists. Jrue Holiday is the third double-digit scorer and Bobby Portis is dishing 1.4 assists. The Milwaukee Bucks are shooting 36.1 percent from beyond the arc and 74.9 percent from the free throw line. The Milwaukee Bucks are allowing 33.7 percent shooting from deep and are grabbing 47.7 rebounds per game.

The Boston Celtics are averaging 108 points on 44.2 percent shooting and allowing 107.3 points on 44.3 percent shooting. Jayson Tatum is averaging 25.6 points and 8.7 rebounds, while Jaylen Brown is averaging 21.4 points and 2.2 assists.

The Bucks are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 road games and 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games overall. The Celtics are 10-4 ATS in their last 14 Monday games and 5-11 ATS in their last 16 home games. The over is 6-2 in Bucks last 8 overall. The over is 13-5 in Celtics last 18 home games. The Bucks are 3-9 ATS in the last 12 meetings in Boston and 0-4 ATS in the last 4 meetings.

This line is rather surprising when you consider the Boston Celtics have lost three straight games, and they actually lose at home by an average of 0.2 points. The Milwaukee Bucks are piling up the victories as they’re getting healthier, and they’re wining their last five games by an average of 5.2 points. The Celtics usually play well in these big games at home, but I’m not leaving points on the table with the Bucks.
