Boston Celtics
The Boston Celtics come into this game on a four-game winning streak, with their most recent win coming on Sunday against the Memphis Grizzlies. That was impressive, given that the Celtics were without Jaylen Brown. Even more impressive would be a win over the Milwaukee Bucks tonight, given that they should be without both Brown and Jayson Tatum here.
Without their top-two offensive threats, the Celtics are going to need their role players to step up in a big way offensively. They have several lethal three-point shooters, but without Tatum and Brown to get into the paint and free them up, it will be interesting to see how that shooting holds up.
Milwaukee Bucks
The Milwaukee Bucks are on fire of late, having won 10 games in a row entering Tuesday night. Here, they are heavy favorites against the Boston Celtics, who are without several key players. But games in the NBA are not won on paper, and the Bucks will still need to execute and play at a high level to avoid being upset by what is left of the Celtics roster.
Fortunately for Milwaukee, the Bucks should have Giannis Antetokounmpo back in action for this game. He is listed as probable in spite of a knee injury, and that should give the Bucks a huge advantage here. Still, bettors may want to wait and make sure that the Bucks play their key contributors before locking anything in on this game.
