Bet on The Boston Celtics at +2.5
While some believe the game will be too close on the spread, the Celtics will beat it. One of the reason is because the Bucks are missing Middleton and not shooting a lot of 3-pointers.
We expect the Boston defense is very strong and have a solid plan against Antetokounmpo .The Celtics were one of the best teams ATS on the road with a 28-15 record. Therefore, we predict the Celtics will win with a final score of 108-105
