The struggling Milwaukee Bucks take a trip to meet the Boston Celtics at TD Garden, and Milwaukee's leaky defense is sure to give up plenty of points. The Bucks, who have dropped six of seven games to date, have allowed 127 or more points in five of six outings so far. That has meant a 5-2 record to the Over.
While Milwaukee allowed just 112 points at Minnesota last time out, it is allowing 124.1 ppg -- third most in the NBA. The Celtics are 5-2 despite losing Jaylen Brown to the 76ers. They have continued to roll on and are good for a respectable 115.0 ppg. While the Celtics have cashed the Under in three in a row, Boston should pile up huge offense on Milwaukee. The C's scored 125+ in three in a row from Oct. 26-30 and have the offensive weapons to get there against the Bucks for sure.
