Possible Eastern Finals Matchup When Celtics Meet Bucks

Celtics vs Bucks Odds, Matchup and More

Celtics vs Bucks odds currently are as a pick’em, with a total of 228.

We are in for a treat with this one as the top two teams in the Eastern Conference will battle in a late-season test to show who is ready for a championship playoff run. The game will feature two superstars Jayson Tatum and Giannis Antentokounmpo, who currently sit at fourth and fifth in NBA MVP odds.

Although these teams are not friendly and are the biggest threat to one another as far as knocking each other out of the playoffs, it will be interesting to see who goes all in on this game. The Celtics have already locked up the number one seed and may not want to show their cards against Milwaukee. Meanwhile, Milwaukee is close to locking up the number two seed and is currently on a three-game skid; a win against a conference rival would feel great.

Boston will look to hold onto their position as the number one offense and number two defense in the league this season. The Bucks are only 19th in defensive rating this year but are fifth in the league in offensive rating.

Boston Breaking the Competition

The Celtics are the best regular-season team we’ve seen in a long time. No team has won over 60 games in the Eastern Conference since the Bucks in 2019, and Boston has reached that mark with five games left in the season. They have one of the greatest scoring differentials in NBA history because they are dominating almost every game they play, and it seems as if they are solely focused on their goal of bringing the Larry O’Brien Trophy back to Boston.

Boston is currently on a five-game winning streak, including three wins against Western Conference playoff teams, showing that they have not decided to take their foot off the gas even with their clinched playoff spot.

Boston’s last game was an easy win over the Trailblazers. However, the victory wasn’t without its concerns. Boston struggled with rebounding, allowing 22 offensive boards. Despite this, there were bright spots. Jaylen Brown celebrated a milestone by reaching 10,000 career points, while Sam Hauser bounced back from a poor shooting night. Payton Pritchard continued his hot streak with a 20-point, 8-assist performance.

Pritchard has come on lately for the Celtics, now scoring 20 or more in two games in a row. Pritchard has averaged 13.4 points, 5.9 assists, and 3.7 rebounds in his last ten games (all up from his season averages of 8.9 points, 3.2 rebounds and 3.2 assists). Pritchard has hit the over on his points + assists prop in three straight games and seven of his last ten. Take a look at the over for Pritchard’s points + assists prop as he will likely continue his larger share of the offensive load.

Bucks Brewing Something

It seems like the Bucks are still figuring things out, but now with Khris Middleton back in the lineup, they have all the pieces they will need for a potential championship run. They have now lost four games in a row (three of those against tanking teams with terrible records), and are only 3-7 in their last ten games.

The Bucks believe they will be able to get on the right path before it is too late, and showing up big at home against Boston on Tuesday would go a long way to build confidence in their championship aspirations.

Take a look at Giannis’ scoring prop on Tuesday. As long as Boston doesn’t sit their stars, this game will likely be a defensive-focused match. Giannis has only scored 21 and 24 points in his last matchups against Boston this year, and we expect him to fall short of his 30.7 point-per-game average on Tuesday.

Check Who Will Play
