The set-up: Boston looked dominant in its Game 1 win, while Milwaukee would then go on to return the favor in Game 2. With the shift in venue, I think this "back-and-forth" trend continues on Friday night as I expect the home side to bounce back and find a way to get the job done at the end of the night. Boston earned the coveted split after its Game 1 victory and I believe it'll take advantage in Game 3.

The pick: Maybe part of the reason the C's had an obvious letdown in Game 2 is the fact that they know how much the Bucks struggle in Boston. Note that Milwaukee is a poor 1-6 ATS in its last seven played in Boston. note that the Celtics are 5-1-1 ATS in their last seven vs. teams with winning records. I like Boston to defend home court in Game 3.
