<h2>
Boston Celtics at Milwaukee Bucks Overview<br />
</h2>
<p>
<b>Boston Celtics</b>
</p>
<p>
The Celtics come into this series on the heels of a sweep of Milwaukee’s divisional rival the Indiana Pacers when Boston eliminated Indiana on Sunday by a score of 110-106. The Celtics were able to foster a narrow cover when they closed as a 3.5-point road favorite.
</p>
<p>
<b>Milwaukee Bucks </b>
</p>
<p>
The Bucks went a perfect 4-0 both against the spread and straight up in their first-round series against divisional rival Detroit. Milwaukee closed as the top seed overall in the entire playoff bracket and thus have clinched home court throughout the playoffs as a result. The Deer will look to take advantage with the NBA's best home record in the 2018-2019 season as they lost just eight times in Milwaukee this year. The Bucks eliminated Detroit with style on Monday when they crushed the Pistons 127-104, easily getting the point spread cover as a 10.5-point favorite.

<h2>
Reasons To Avoid Boston<br />
</h2>
<p>
The Celtics will be a popular choice in this market by their namesake alone combined with the fact they know how to beat the Bucks in a playoff series given what transpired last year. However, the quality the Celtics are about the face in this Milwaukee team is far superior to the Indiana team that they beat up on the First Round and more importantly far more established compared to the Bucks squad they faced in the 2018 Playoffs. The points are no gift here by any means.
</p>
<h2>
Reasons To Back Milwaukee<br />
</h2>
<p>
For the most part, Boston feasted on Indiana’s inability to score points in the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals as Indiana broke the 100-point threshold just once in the entirety of the series. The Celtics will have a much more complex animal to tackle here against a Milwaukee team that led the league in scoring with 118.1 points per game. Quite frankly, it is hard to determine whether the Celtics will be ready for this kind of a potent challenge in one of the most notorious environments in all of the NBA.

Celtics at Bucks Prediction 04/28/2019

There is an excellent chance that the Bucks were waiting all year for another crack at the Celtics in the Playoffs. By pure motivation alone, I expect Milwaukee to come out swinging in Game One and catch Boston off guard as a result. This series may indeed go the distance, but in Game One it will be all Bucks. Swallow the points.
