Result:
LOSS

After winning their biggest game of the season on the road against the 76ers Tuesday night, I see the Celtics suffering a letdown in this matchup. Boston had triple revenge and a shrinking Atlantic Division lead going into its game against the 76ers. Now the Celtics all but have the division wrapped up with a three-game cushion. The Celtics haven't been in a back-to-back road game situation where they play twice within 48 hours since Feb. 23 when they lost by 21 to the Nuggets. Boston is 1-5 straight-up and against the spread in this type of semi-rare situation. The Bucks are a much more competitive team at home where they average 99.5 points and have covered 55 percent of their games. There's a chance popular Coach Terry Porter could lose his job at the end of the season, so I see the Bucks playing hard despite their non-playoff status. One star on the Bucks.
