Boston Celtics vs. Milwaukee Bucks Prediction
On the Boston side, they are led by one of the best players in basketball Jayson Tatum. Tatum has been outstanding this year for the Celtics, leading them in scoring, and is the main reason why this has been the best team in the East.
On the flip side of things, Milwaukee is led by the Greek freak Giannis Antetokounmpo. Giannis is considered by many to be the best player in basketball. He has a great case to make for that title. This is a former MVP and NBA champion. The guy can do it all and is a matchup nightmare for opposing teams.
Jrue Holiday and Khris Middleton are also two all-star caliber players that the Bucks have. Both have struggled at times with injuries this season, but when fully healthy, this is a championship-contending team. Milwaukee comes into play losing two games in a row, and they will look to snap their losing streak with a prime-time win over the Celtics today.
I am turning back to old reliable today. We are backing Brook Lopez over 5.5 rebounds. Lopez sees about thirty-one minutes per game, and I like his matchups today against the Boston bigs. I expect Lopez to camp out in the paint a lot today on the defensive side of things, and face a team in Boston who will get up a lot of shots. He will have plenty of opportunities to clear this number. Lopez has been good to us this season, and I expect more of that today.
