The Bucks have lost 4 straight games, and 3 of those losses came as double-digit favorites. No, thanks. With that said, the Bucks need to win games if they’re going to lock up the second seed in the East. The Celtics have nothing to play for as they clinched the top seed in the NBA. The Celtics could also be without Tatum, who is questionable with a knee injury. The home team has won 6 of the last 7 games between the Celtics and Bucks. Massive game for the Bucks. Just another game for the Celtics. Near pick em line, give me the Bucks at home.
