Boston Celtics vs. Milwaukee Bucks Top Scorers

Giannis Antetokounmpo has been dominant as the Bucks have rattled off 10 straight victories entering Tuesday’s game. The Greek Freak has scored 373 points during this 10-game streak, second-most of all-time behind Wilt Chamberlain’s 416 during his rookie season. 

Jaylen Brown is listed as day-to-day after sustaining a facial fracture, and he is one of a handful of Boston players who will miss this game, joining Marcus Smart. Malcom Brogdon is probable, and now Jayson Tatum is doubtful with an illness. Nonetheless, the Celtics have won four straight, including a victory against the Memphis Grizzlies. 

In that win, Jayson Tatum shot just 3-of-16 from the field, but Eastern Conference Player of the Week Derrick White led the way with 23 points. 

Boston Celtics vs. Milwaukee Bucks Head-to-Head

Boston beat Milwaukee by 21 in the only matchup on Christmas Day, but this Celtics’ team has a ton of injuries they are dealing with at the moment. 

Betting Trends

The Bucks have covered the moneyline in 11 of the last 13 home games, although the Celtics are 6-3 in their last nine road game on the moneyline. 

The Pick

The Celtics have been making it work as of late, beating the Grizzlies, 76ers, and Nets all while dealing with various injuries. However, the Bucks are the hottest team in the NBA, and Giannis has been playing at an MVP level, and there is no end in sight for the Greek Freak. 

The Celtics had a chance with Tatum, but as of Monday afternoon, he was listed as doubtful with an illness. That hurts tremendously, and the Bucks get the win by double digits.
