Boston Celtics vs Milwaukee Bucks: Current situation
Boston continues to trail the Cleveland Cavaliers by just 1 game atop of the Eastern Conference. The two teams recently clashed in Cleveland and the Cavs once again showed they are a formidable team this season. As crazy as it might sound, that’s a good thing for Boston. Defending champions can sometimes lose focus if they are dominant for long stretches in the regular season, so it’s good for the Cs to have someone to chase in front of them.
Milwaukee’s 9-1 run has seen them climb all the way up to 5th place in the Eastern Conference, which just shows how easy things can change early in the season after you put together a win streak. The job is far from done though, this team is hungry for more and the 4th seeded Knicks are just 2 games away. With the potential return of Khris Middleton looming, things can only improve from now on if you are Doc Rivers.
Boston Celtics Stats & Form
Boston had a 7-game win streak snapped at the hands of the Cleveland Cavaliers this past weekend, but they were able to recover with a 108-89 win over Miami. That game showed us just how good this team can be, even when their shot isn’t falling they are still capable of winning games with ease thanks to their defensive effort. They held the Heat to just 8 threes made out of 35 attempts, while from the field Miami shot just 35%.
Milwaukee Bucks Stats & Form
Milwaukee lost a bit of momentum coming into this game with a loss against Atlanta on Wednesday. The two superstars delivered their numbers, but the rest of the team just couldn’t get the job done. That shouldn’t discourage any potential Bucks bettors in this game though, Milwaukee is still 9-2 SU in their last 11 games and has completely turned things around after a dismal start to the season.
Boston Celtics vs Milwaukee Bucks: Head-to-Head
These two teams have already played each other twice this season which means this is their final game, until they eventually meet in the Playoffs. Regardless of how this game ends, Boston has already clinched the regular season series with 2 wins by 11 and 6 points. Over the past 11 meetings, Milwaukee has won just 3 of them, while in their last 5 trips to TD Garden they are winless.
Boston Celtics – Milwaukee Bucks Odds
If you feel like the Celtics can win without both Tatum and Holiday here, then odds of 8/15 are available. Backing the Bucks as underdogs will net you a hefty 15/8 odds.
The point total has been set at 224.5 points, with odds of 10/11 supporting either the over or the under.

Betting tip and prediction: Boston Celtics vs Milwaukee Bucks (06.12.2024)
This will be the ultimate test for the recently resurrected Milwaukee Bucks who are on a run of 9 wins in 11 games. The oddsmakers aren’t showing them much respect here with the spread being 7.5 points in favor of Boston, so we just need the Bucks to keep this game somewhat close and our bet wins. They’re going up against a Celtics team that’s just 2-7 ATS in their last 9 games played, plus two very important pieces in Jrue Holiday and Jayson Tatum are likely going to miss this game. Milwaukee’s offense has really flourished over the past 11 games, only 2 teams in the NBA have a better shooting percentage. A big role in that achievement is due to the play of Giannis Antetokounmpo who is averaging 33.5 points per game over his last 10 outings. He’s already had a pair of 43 and 30 point games vs Boston this year, the Celtics will have a hard time dealing with him down low. After seeing the defending champs lose to Cleveland a couple of nights ago, we feel like they’re a bit too shorthanded here to dominate the Bucks. Let’s back Milwaukee to cover the spread.
