Both of the teams swept their first round opponents. This might have been a matchup many saw before the season began but I think most would have had Boston in that top spot.
Nevertheless this is an interesting matchup between a team that has had some recent success in the playoffs and another trying to prove they are a threat. .
Boston Celtics
Boston might have swept Indiana but most of these games were hard. In the final quarter they could have gone either way but Boston applied pressure and the Pacers kind of wilted.

They have to come into this series feeling pretty good as as result. They are without Marcus Smart which hurts but for Boston having one less mouth to feed is not necessarily a bad thing.
On offense the Celtics showed good depth against Indiana. Kyrie Irving is still one of the best closers in the game but there are others that can score with this group.

I really like their bench right now. Terry Rozier and Gordon Hayward can be instant offense and are good enough to play with the starters too.
If you are going to beat Milwaukee you have to contain Giannis. I am curious to see how Boston approaches this and who gets the assignment – Jayson Tatum or Jaylen Brown – and will they be comfortable sacrificing offense for the sake of the team.
Milwaukee Bucks
The Bucks definitely looked like the best team in the league in dispatching Detroit in four games. All of their wins were by at least 16 points as they covered in four straight too. There is something to be said for having to battle but it also showed how good this team is.
In the first round Giannis was very good. He had back to back to back double-doubles to start and in the series finale he scored 41, missing another double-double by one rebound. He looks really fresh too as the Bucks have not had to burn him significantly throughout the season.

I think I like Boston’s depth better than Milwaukee’s. Niko Mirotic was a big trade addition and they are bringing him off of the bench but other than him and George Hill you are not getting a ton from that group. They are inconsistent.

Free Boston Celtics vs. Milwaukee Bucks NBA Prediction:
Of course the Bucks are the favourites in game one at home. I like coach Brad Stevens to have a wrinkle or two for them.
I think there will be some feeling out in this one so I am looking for the Celtics to keep this one close enough to cover.
4* Free NBA Betting Pick: Celtics +7.5
They could upset too but I might wait til halftime before I start dabbling on the money line in this one.
