Bookmakers’ analysts believe that the Celtics will have to win the battle of the East leaders. Yes, Milwaukee has already lost to their main rivals for the playoffs, but the Bucks can pull themselves together and get serious against the Celtics. Joe Mazzulla’s squad will get the win, but it will be a hard-fought one.
In their two regular-season head-to-head games last season, the teams were able to play some productive basketball. Then they met in the playoffs, but that’s another story. The Boston Celtics are averaging 121 points in home games, while the Milwaukee Bucks are averaging 106 away. We’re hoping that this meeting, too, will be an entertaining and productive affair for their fans.
The Boston Celtics regained the throne in the East. The Celtics knocked off the Milwaukee Bucks, their upcoming rival, from the lead.
The Celtics outscored the Minnesota Timberwolves (121-109), at home in TD Garden. Jaylen Brown was effective in that game. The guard scored 36 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists against the Timberwolves.
The Celtics had previously given the lead to the Bucks. The reason was three consecutive defeats against the Indiana Pacers (112-117) and Orlando Magic (92-95 and 109-117).
The Celtics have played 33 games so far. They have won 23 and lost 10.
The Boston Celtics are averaging 118.1 points per game.
The away streak continues for the Milwaukee Bucks. So far, it’s been inconclusive. The club has lost two important games. They lost to their direct rivals for the top spot in the conference. I’m talking about their losses to the Cleveland Cavaliers (106-114) and Brooklyn Nets (100-118).
The best player in those two meetings, though, was Milwaukee’s Greek forward. Giannis Antetokounmpo had 45 points against the Cavs and 26 against the Nets. That didn’t help the Bucks avoid defeat, however.
The Bucks have played 32 games this season. They have won 22 meetings and lost 10.
The Milwaukee Bucks have lost four of their last five away games.
In our opinion, the teams will take to the field with the following line-ups:
Boston Celtics: Marcus Smart – Derrick White – Jaylen Brown – Jayson Tatum – Al Horford.
Milwaukee Bucks: Jrue Holiday – Jrue Holiday – Grayson Allen – Giannis Antetokounmpo – Brook Lopez.
Danilo Gallinari (Out) and Marcus Smart (Day-to-day) are listed as injured for the Boston Celtics.
Only Khris Middleton (Out) is listed as injured for the Milwaukee Bucks.
The fixture will be played at TD Garden (19.580) in Boston, Massachusetts, USA.
This starting whistle will sound on the 25th of December, 2022, at 22:00 UK Time.
