    Why the Celtics can cover

    Boston’s offense is electric behind Jayson Tatum. He is averaging 30.5 points and 8.1 rebounds per game, and the Celtics are leading the NBA in offensive rating at 116.6. Boston also leads the league in free throw accuracy at 82.8%, and the Celtics are in the top ten in field goal percentage (47.6%), 3-point percentage (37.6%), turnover rate (13.7%), assists (26.3 per game) and fast break points (14.7 per game). 

    Milwaukee is last in the NBA in turnover creation (12.7 per game) and in the bottom three in steals (6.5 per game). On the other end, Boston leads the league in assist prevention (22.0 assists allowed per game), with top-eight marks in defensive rebound rate (73.4%), free throw attempts allowed (21.4), and points allowed per 100 possessions (110.6).

    Why the Bucks can cover 

    The Bucks are loaded on defense. Milwaukee is giving up fewer than 1.09 points per possession this season, ranking in the top three of the NBA, and opponents shoot only 45.1% from the field against the Bucks. That includes a paltry 35.0% mark allowed on 3-point attempts, and Milwaukee is No. 2 in the league in giving up only 20.5 free throw attempts per game. 

    The Bucks do not allow opponents to generate second-chance opportunities on the strength of a 74.3% defensive rebound rate, and Milwaukee is No. 2 in the league in assists allowed (22.3 per game). With opponents also scoring fewer than 48 points in the paint per game against the Bucks, Milwaukee’s baseline is lofty on the defensive end.
