It’s the first of four meetings between the Milwaukee Bucks and Boston Celtics. Both teams last played on Monday with Milwaukee routing the Wizards 142-129 while Boston lost 118-121 in overtime to the Hornets.
Season Series
Last season the teams played three times with the Celtics taking two of the three contests and it’s also Boston who holds the all-time record between the squads with 116 victories in 226 matches.
Milwaukee Bucks
The Bucks bring a five-game win streak into this match with some impressive wins along the way.
At season start the Damian Lillard addition wasn’t transitioning as smoothly as Adrian Griffin would’ve liked but the team and Dame have turned a corner with him looking far more comfortable.
One specific area that can be pointed to is the Bucks are putting the ball in Dame’s hands to close games and letting him take over either by being the primary scorer and decision maker.
Opponents can’t afford to double-team him because that opens up Giannis Antetokounmpo to have a clear path to the bucket.
Bucks Stats
Milwaukee’s key categories find them ranked fourth offensively (118.4), and 24th defensively (115.4) with a net differential of plus +3.0 which is tied for eighth overall.
Betting on the Bucks against the spread is a tricky proposition given their 5-9 record in that category.
Bucks Injury Report
To summarize the injury report…
- Damian Lillard, PG (upgraded to probable — oblique)
- Jae Crowder, SF (OUT indefinitely — groin)
- Marjon Beauchamp, SF (upgraded to probable — ankle)
- Chris Livingston, SF (upgraded to probable — ankle)
Boston Celtics
Initially, the Celtics were feasting offensively showcasing how their starting five were virtually unparalleled but they’ve shifted to focus on the defense and risen to the third spot in defensive ranking based on that decision.
That said, when a team is this good there is a tendency to take lower-seeded teams for granted perhaps out of boredom, and that occurred in their last three matches.
They hung on to win a 3-point game against the Raptors (after coughing up a 16-point lead), were one missed shot away from losing to the Grizzlies and the casualness caught up to them versus Charlotte as they lost in double-overtime.
Celtics Stats
Boston ranks fifth overall offensively (117.6) are third defensively (107.0) while registering a net differential of plus +10.6 which ranks first overall.
In terms of the Celtics’ performance against the spread, they offer a 6-6-2 record.
Celtics Injury Report
To summarize the injury report…
- Derrick White, SG (upgraded to probable— personal)

Free Milwaukee Bucks vs. Boston Celtics NBA Prediction:
This match marks the first time Jrue Holiday will face the team that traded him for Damian Lillard. Expect Holiday to be the primary defender on Dame and be looking to make a statement.
Couple that with how the Celtics played in their last three games and it’s a guarantee they won’t approach this match with the same casualness.
For these reasons, I’m taking the Celtics to net the victory but also taking the points as I think it will be a closely contested match.
