Take #536 Celtics over Bucks
(NBA) Milwaukee vs. Boston,
Point Spread: -5.50 | -108.00 Boston (Home)
Result: Loss
Giannis Antetokounmpo will have an opportunity to score at least 40 points for the third straight game when the Milwaukee Bucks visit the Boston Celtics in a matchup of division leaders Wednesday night. Antetokounmpo tossed in 40 during Milwaukee's 132-125 victory over the visiting Dallas Mavericks on Saturday and followed up that performance by scoring 42 in a 142-129 win against the host Washington Wizards on Monday night. Antetokounmpo, who is averaging 30.2 points per game this season, was 20 of 23 from the field against the Wizards. He also had 13 rebounds and eight assists. The Celtics are coming off a 121-118 overtime loss at Charlotte on Monday that ended the team's six-game winning streak. Boston surrendered an 18-point first-half lead. We think they bounce back big time after that implosion and show up here Wednesday night. Let's roll with Boston.
