Boston Celtics vs Milwaukee Bucks Odds

The Milwaukee Bucks (39-17 SU, 31-22-3 ATS) welcome the Boston Celtics (41-16, 30-26-1) to Fiserv Forum on Tuesday in a clash of the top two teams in the Eastern Conference. Both teams go into the matchup on lengthy winning streaks with Milwaukee on a 10-game run and Boston on a four-game streak.

The Bucks opened as the 4-point favorite with the total set at 230 points. Boston has won four of its last five games against Milwaukee, but the Bucks have won seven straight at home. It could be a lower-scoring game as the UNDER is 5-1 in Milwaukee’s last six outings.

Latest Betting Notes: Celtics

The Celtics kept their win streak alive Sunday with a 119-109 victory over the Memphis Grizzlies. Derrick White (23 points) and Sam Hauser (20 points) led the way offensively for Boston while Ja Morant (25 points) was the only player to score 20-plus for Memphis.

The C’s continue to face injury woes as four of their five starters are dealing with something. Marcus Smart (ankle) and Jaylen Brown (face) remain out while Jayson Tatum (illness) and Robert Williams III (ankle) are both listed as questionable. With so many injuries, look for White to play a bigger role as he has been for the last couple of weeks.

Latest Betting Notes: Bucks

The Bucks picked up their 10th straight victory on Friday as they beat the Los Angeles Clippers 119-106. Giannis Antetokounmpo had 35 points to lead the way while Brook Lopez (22 points, 15 rebounds) also had a strong showing for Milwaukee.

After sitting out for a couple of weeks in January with a knee issue, Antetokounmpo has come back with a vengeance, leading the Bucks in scoring in nine of 10 games during their win streak and scoring 30-plus in eight of those contests. Milwaukee is scoring an incredible 124.7 points per game during the run – 10 points more than its season average.

Celtics Player Prop: White OVER 23 Points (+129)

With so many injuries through the Celtics lineup over the last few weeks, White has seen an increased role and has really taken a step offensively. The point guard had just two outings of 20-plus points this season prior to January 24 but has hit the mark four times in nine games since then, including a career-high 33-point effort on February 10.

White should continue to see heavy minutes on Tuesday, especially if Tatum and Williams are out, so look for him to hit the OVER on 23 points.

Bucks Player Prop: Antetokounmpo OVER 36 Points (+112)

Antetokounmpo is still dealing with a lingering knee issue but is listed as probable for Tuesday’s matchup, so he should be good to go – and good to put up another monster performance.

The Greek Freak has scored at least 33 points in eight of his last nine outings while averaging over 37 points per game so far in February. The Bucks may not need Antetokounmpo to have an earth-shattering performance to beat an undermanned Celtics squad, but there’s a good chance he has one anyway.
