Milwaukee Bucks vs Boston Celtics Prediction
There’s no reason to get behind the Milwaukee Bucks in this game, as they haven’t won games or covered numbers this season. The Celtics remain the team to beat and have won 7 of the last 10 games against the Bucks. With that said, the Celtics are still without Brown and Antetokounmpo erupted in his press conference after the loss to the Knicks. It feels like the Bucks are entering a poop or get-off-the-pot situation, and that could inspire this team. We know what the Bucks are capable of when Antetokounmpo and Lillard are cooking. I’ll take a stab with the home dog.
