The 30-18 Boston Celtics play host to the 18-28 Milwaukee Bucks on Sunday evening in an NBA contest. The home side are sat 3rd in the East as things stand while their visitors are in 12th. Let’s break the matchup down with a prediction.
This is the final game of four at home for the Boston Celtics, 2-1 on the home stand to this point. The sole defeat came in a surprise loss to the Atlanta Hawks, although they do have a solid record on the road.
Those games have taken the Celtics to 15-8 at TD Garden this season, building on an excellent defence which has given up the second fewest points per game in the league. The issue has been having an offence in the bottom half.
Milwaukee won the first time that these teams clashed this season, 116-101 at home back in December. This fixture has been a very different task for them over the last few years, however, 0-8 on their last eight trips to Boston.
Overall they are 9-16 on the road this season, losing their last four games ahead of this contest, eight of their last 10 overall and five of their last seven on the road.They are four games back of a play-in spot at present, so need to start picking up wins.
