Good luck on your pick @stadus... but it's not only the Bucks who have inconsistency, even the Celtics are also experiencing some big losses due to their inconsistency. I believe Giannis own the Celtics, so I think it's good to put some player props too for Giannis as he could get a double double here.
Yeah, You have a valid point, the Celtics are not a reliable team as well, the only good thing is that over the few games Tatum seemed to have found his rhythm back, and tonight's game might depend on good Tatum is. Bucks as well aren't the same team without Middleton, no doubt, but their win over the Knicks shows that they can find a way around it even in difficult situations.
I don't have a clear opinion on the fixture, but @stadus is usually unbiased with his picks, so I'll be going with him on the Celtics ML
Lucky that Celtics won in the OT, they give the Bucks a chance to beat them by allowing the game to go to OT, but this is NBA, surprises happened but it's still a good thing that Celtics were able to pull a win at home, it's their 2 win streak at home and I'll be happy to continue betting on them.
That was quite an intense game, the game was a close one going back and forth from the first quarter but Celtics took a decent lead going into the forth and I didn't think Bucks would have been able to force OT, but Allen made some great shot to make that happen, could have swung either, truly.
Line dropped drastically in favour of Celtics when it was confirmed that Giannis was going to suit up for the game, perhaps, It could have been a different result if he had played.
Congratulations to all the winners.
We are the real winners because we enjoy the game and at the same time win our bet.
Bucks showed good chemistry as everyone was scoring, but the home team is just the better team in that game especially in the playoffs.
I didn't expect that Dennis would be the top performer for the Celtics and that 38 points he dropped was very special and he seemed to be just playing effortlessly.
Therefore my pick is Heat +7.5, hopefully not a trap.
Wow this is fresh, I like to follow this bet, +7.5 is probably a gift, not a trap.
