The Boston Celtics are gearing up for a Friday night matchup against the Milwaukee Bucks as they continue their quest for a second consecutive NBA championship. The Bucks, who have been on a seven-game winning streak before a recent loss, are looking to make a statement against the Celtics.
Despite some key injuries, including Jayson Tatum, the Celtics are favored by 7.5 points in the game. Derrick White, who has been standing out in recent games with his solid performance, is expected to continue to shine with over 4.5 assists. On the other hand, Jaylen Brown may cool off after strong performances in the past few games, with an under of 36.5 points + rebounds + assists predicted for him.
For Damian Lillard, the under of 3.5 made 3-pointers is the best bet as he has struggled against the Celtics in the past, making only 3-for-16 from deep in two games this season. The Celtics’ strong perimeter defense could pose a challenge for Lillard in this matchup. With both teams vying for a win, Friday night’s game promises to be an exciting showdown between the Celtics and the Bucks.
