Celtics moneyline (-295):<\/strong> The Celtics defeated the Bucks twice already this season and I don’t expect tonight’s game to be any different.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe reigning champions are among the best-scoring teams in the league, which gives them a favourable matchup against a team who have struggled to defend elite shooting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jayson Tatum missed Wednesday’s game against the Detroit Pistons but Boston still put up 130 points in a winning effort. He’s listed as available tonight, which is great news for the Celtics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Joe Mazzulla’s lineup is loaded with sharpshooters like Jaylen Brown, Derrick White, and Payton Pritchard who are capable of filling the void.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Although the Bucks are seemingly back in business, their poor away record cannot be ignored.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Milwaukee is just 3-6 on the road this season and has lost its last five games in Boston.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A lot of factors are pointing toward a Celtics victory in this one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
SGP legs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Antetokounmpo over 27.5 <\/strong>points (-182):<\/strong> Although I like the Celtics to win, I expect Giannis to keep rolling here. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe Greek Freak is averaging a league-best 32.6 points per game and has cleared this line in his last six games (41, 37, 32, 42, 28 and 31).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Boston’s defence is solid but Giannis has cooked it this season:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- On Oct. 28, the star big man scored 30 points despite shooting 33 percent from the free-throw line (2-for-6).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
\n- On Nov. 11, he dropped 43 points while shooting 62.1 percent from the field.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
With Boston playing the first of a back-to-back, one of Kristap Porzingis or Al Horford could miss this game. This leaves more space for Giannis to wreak havoc in the paint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Middleton over 2.5 assists<\/strong> (-130):<\/strong> Middleton makes his season debut tonight and will be on a minutes restriction.<\/p>\n\n\n\nHowever, if the three-time All-Star receives at least 20 minutes on the floor I believe this line is a notch too low.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the four games against Boston last season, Middleton recorded at least six assists with Antetokounmpo and Lilliard on the court.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He averaged 5.3 assists and 27 minutes a night across 55 games last season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Having not played in over seven months, I believe there’s value in his assists prop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
