Boston Celtics Form


Boston head out on the road on level terms after splitting the first two games of this Eastern Conference semi-final.

The Celtics swept Brooklyn 4-0 in the first round, but fell behind early in this series with Milwaukee.

They were beaten 101-89 at home in Game 1, but turned it up defensively to win the second meeting.

Boston beat the Bucks 109-86 on Tuesday night to even the series at 1-1.

Jaylen Brown led the Celtics in scoring with 30 points to go along with six assists and five rebounds.

Jayson Tatum also played a key role with 29 points and eight assists, while Al Horford contributed 11 points and 11 rebounds in a double double.

Grant Williams made an impact off the bench too, registering 21 points and five rebounds in the win.

Milwaukee Bucks Form


Milwaukee gave themselves an edge in this series by splitting the first two games in Boston.

The Bucks cruised past Chicago in the first round, but are likely to face a much stiffer challenge here.

They took Game 1 against the Celtics as they shut down their hosts to win 101-89.

However, they failed to repeat that in Game 2 as they struggled to break down Boston defensively and lost the game 109-86.

Giannis Antetokounmpo finished the game with 28 points, nine rebounds and seven assists.

Jrue Holiday contributed 19 points and seven assists, while Bobby Portis registered 13 points and eight rebounds.

Khris Middleton has missed the first two games with a sprained MCL and is likely to miss Game 3.

Verdict


Both teams have flexed their defensive muscles, resulting in a couple of low-scoring games.

That trend is likely to continue here, with Boston’s number one defense backed to help them cover.

Total Points – Under 213.0 @ -110
