Bucks vs Celtics prediction
This line is telling me the Bucks are likely going to be without Antetokounmpo who is dealing with a hamstring injury. However, the Celtics have a questionable Brown and Holiday. While the Celtics have been winning machines all year and recently are covering numbers, this line is disrespectful toward the Bucks, Antetokounmpo or not. The Bucks have won and covered 7 of their last 10 games, and they blew the Celtics out back in January. I’m grabbing the points with the Bucks, as both teams will bring it with what they’ve got, knowing this could be a playoff preview.
