Bucks vs. Celtics, 1:00 p.m. ET

Pick ATS: Milwaukee +4.5

These teams squared up as recently as April 7th and the Bucks came out on top in that game. The Celtics do have the momentum of a series sweep carrying them into this one, but Milwaukee is no pushover. A huge win on the road sets the tone for the Bucks in this one.

Over/Under: Over 217.5

The point total seems low for this game. This is the fifth time these teams are playing each other and the lowest point total in any of their games this season was 220. Their average point total was 228 so the over feels like the right move here.
