This will be a real tough game, especially with no Horford. Would be a big time statement win, should be able to light it up against them. Defensively, the Celtics concede the pullup three for the most part, so Dame will be the key for the Bucks.

Celtics 2.5 point underdogs, which has not been the case many times this season.

The Celtics, w/o their 2nd big, traveling after an OT game the night before, are currently 2 point road dogs to their biggest challenger (or 1a 1b w/ Philly) in the East. Seems pretty good.

I don't think that's how this team is wired at all. They're not going to make any excuses (especially after facing a tough MIN team that had their own B2B and a delay on top); I expect whoever plays goes hard. Take the C's money line and profit!

Lillard didn't play in the Bucks' last game and he's been ice cold for a while now. In his last 7 games, he's at 40/24/90, with 22 points on 16.6 shot attempts and a net rating of -1.1 in 36 minutes per game.

Maybe a night off rejuvenates him, but recently if you can keep him off the charity stripe, you can keep him from beating you too badly. That puts a ton of pressure on Giannis.

Surprised Al is the only one out.

House money after last night’s thriller. Stay healthy.

I think if this wasn't Milwaukee, we'd see at least two starters out. Tatum just rested against Indy and he loves big games, so he's in. Holiday isn't going to rest in his first game back in Milwaukee. KP rested yesterday, so he was always playing. White only sits when he's having another kid, and JB has been basically healthy all year - resting a healthy all-star for a national TV game is the sort of thing that gets you fined $100k. See if we can pull this one out on adrenaline, all the pressure is on the Bucks.

Poor word choice on my part. This team doesn't roll over. I haven't seen a game in person since Game 6 in vs Milwaukee in the 2017-18 playoffs and I'm a personal three game losing streak seeing the Cs live. Hoping to buck the trend tonight

I didn't take it that way - could've worded my reply better too...

But at least I know who to blame if things do go south.

If he coaches like that, I’ll promise not to complain about him for the rest of the season.

Bucks look they barely even try defensively. Once the C's 3's start going down, they'll pile them up quickly, but need some stops on the other end too.

5th game in seven days, second night of back to back on the road after an OT game. This is going to be pretty tough.

Kinda looks like most of their shots just aren’t even close. Very much a second night of a back to back on the road feel…

I will never understand why the NBA schedules a national game with a team on the second night of a b2b.

Looked like a flop from Lillard—-if they called those after the first week
