Top Celtics vs. Bucks predictions
SportsLine’s model has simulated Bucks vs. Celtics 10,000 times and is going Over on the total (215.5 points). Four of the last five matchups between these teams have gone over this total, and the Bucks have leaned over in recent contests this season. Milwaukee has eclipsed the O/U in three of its last four outings as its defense has struggled, as the team has allowed 120.4 points over its last five games overall.
The Over is 5-2 across Milwaukee’s last seven home games, while Boston brings one of the league’s most efficient offenses into Milwaukee, though the loss of Brown does hurt that. A total of 225 points are scored, per the simulations, with the Over clearing in 68% of simulations.
