Boston's defense is dominant at eighth in points allowed and fourth in field goal shooting defense during the regular season. They are rested after a sweep of Indiana, covering five straight road contests. Milwaukee is off a sweep of its own, but the Bucks are 5-13-1 ATS playing on three or more days rest. The Celtics are 10-3 ATS in the last 13 meetings, including 9-3 ATS at Milwaukee. Look for plenty of defense and a close one all the way. Play Boston.
