(NBA) Boston vs. Milwaukee,
Point Spread: 2.00 | -105.00 Milwaukee (Home)
Result: Win
The Celtics are coming into this game with a 62-16 record this season and they have already locked up the number 1 seed in the Eastern Conference. They have won their last 5 straight games, but they have not been great on the road recently. They have actually lost 2 of their last 4 games on the road and both of those losses came against a team under .500 in the Hawks. The Celtics have been great on the road this season at 27-13, but it is also where they have lost most of their games with 13 of their 16 losses this season coming on the road. They are going up against a Bucks team that is 47-31 this season and they are currently sitting in 2nd place in the Eastern Conference with a 1 game lead over the Magic in 3rd. They have not been playing well recently as they have lost their last 4 straight games, but with only 4 games left in the season now, this is a game they need to win to not only keep their 2nd place in the conference but to also stop the bleeding and gain some momentum going into the playoffs. They have lost their last 3 straight games at home as well but they are still 29-11 there this season. The Bucks are going to get up for this game at home against the best team in the NBA and they will have the extra incentive of this being a revenge spot as well. They lost their last game against the Celtics by 3 points on the road and they have actually lost both of their games in Boston this year in very close games as both losses were by 3 points. They also beat the Celtics in their only game at home, winning that game by 20+ points so this is a team they are going to get up for and bring their A game. The Bucks will cover the spread in this game at home.
