Milwaukee Bucks vs Boston Celtics Prediction & Betting Tips - NBA
by Joseph King | in Basketball Predictions
Game three of the NBA Eastern Conference semifinals sees the Milwaukee Bucks host the Boston Celtics at the Fiserv Forum in this best of seven playoff series. The Celtics were able to tie the series up at 1-1 after a 109-86 blowout victory in game two but it’s the Bucks who hold the advantage heading back home after taking a game in Boston. The defending champions will now look to protect home court with the next two games in Milwaukee, before heading back to Boston for game five. It will be interesting to see how the hosts respond in this game coming off a loss. Milwaukee was able to take the Celtics somewhat by surprise with their physicality in game one to win convincingly. The Celtics, to their credit, did not fold and were able to adjust brilliantly in game two. The ball is now back Milwaukee's court, both literally and figuratively, to see if they can bounce back in a similar manner.
The Bucks’ two-time MVP superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo’s shooting struggles in this series have been a hot topic for discussion among NBA fans. The 27-year-old is shooting just 38% from the field in the first two games of the series although he has made up for it in part with elite playmaking and dominant defense. The Greek Freak could potentially see his struggles continue, however, as Boston boasts arguably the best defense in the NBA. The Celtics proved in their first round matchup against the Brooklyn Nets just what kind of effect their smothering defense can have on a superstar player when the prolific Kevin Durant was also held to 38% shooting in the 4-0 series sweep. This Bucks team is not one to back down from a challenge and a winning mentality with championship pedigree go a long way in the NBA playoffs. Playing in front of their fans for the first time this series, Milwaukee is poised nicely for a bounce game performance.
