*Editor’s Note: Statistics and rankings are current as of this writing, Wednesday, January 10th. Numbers may vary slightly entering games on Thursday, January 11th.
Boston Celtics
This game marks the first appearance of former Buck Jrue Holiday who left as part of the Damian Lillard trade and eventually was moved to Boston.
For anyone wondering how much the Bucks miss Holiday the Bucks’ most recent loss to the Jazz offers up a perfect example of just how integral he was to the team. The surprise is without Jrue, Milwaukee has completely lost their defensive identity.
Celtics Stats
Boston ranks second offensively (120.9) and also ranks second defensively (110.4) while registering a net differential of plus +10.4 that ranks first overall.
In terms of the Celtics’ performance against the spread, they offer an 18-17-2 record through 37 matches.
Celtics Injury Report
To summarize the injury report…
- Kristaps Porzingis, PF (upgraded to probable — knee)
- Al Horford, C (doubtful — possible rest)
Milwaukee Bucks
Utah dropped 132 points on the Bucks at Fiserv Forum while shooting a robust 52.2 percent.
It was the fourth loss in five outings and while Lillard sat out for personal reasons on Monday there continue to be major questions to be answered on why the defense is playing so poorly.
Giannis Antetokounmpo isn’t happy as per his recent tirade where even the equipment manager wasn’t spared.
Bucks Stats
Milwaukee’s key categories find them ranked third offensively (120.2), and 22nd defensively (116.3) with a net differential of plus +3.9 which ranks ninth overall.
Betting on the Bucks against the spread is a tricky proposition given their 15-22 record in that category.
Bucks Injury Report
To summarize the injury report…
- Jae Crowder, SF (OUT indefinitely — groin)
- Damian Lillard, PG (upgraded to probable — personal)
- Cameron Payne, PG (upgraded to probable — concussion)

Free Boston Celtics vs. Milwaukee Bucks NBA Prediction:
Boston and Milwaukee may be the top two seeds in the East but it sure feels like there is quite a distance between them. Initially, I was willing to give the Bucks a bit of a pass while they integrated Dame and new head coach Adrian Griffin but my view has shifted.
The defense is porous and doesn’t have an identity. Worse still, there is far too much talking public and not just by Giannis.
In contrast, the Celts are rolling on both sides of the court. I still wonder how they’ll respond to playoff defenses but that’s a question for down the road.
