The defending champs have won 4 of their last 5 games and come off a 112-97 thrashing over the Knicks. Giannis Antetokounmpo has been the major reason behind the Bucks form as usual. He comes off his first triple-double of the season against the Knicks and has hit the 40 point mark in 2 of his last 5 games. So look for him to continue that form against the struggling Celtics.<\/span><\/p>\n Boston returns to TD Garden on Tuesday after a less than successful Western road trip. They lost 4 of 5 games and come off a 21 point loss in Phoenix. However, Jaylen Brown is expected to return from a hamstring issue that has plagued him for most of the season. They should also get Marcus Smart back from illness. Meanwhile, they’ll need their best defensive effort against the in-form Giannis as he’s in superb form.<\/span><\/p>\n Boston comes back from a tough road trip and despite playing at home against the Bucks, Milwaukee just looks too strong in this matchup. Giannis Antetokounmpo also missed the first meeting of the season and he looks in MVP form at the moment. So the Bucks look good value as a road underdog.<\/span><\/p>\n Stadium Record<\/b><\/p>\n Boston has won 6 of their last 7 home games. The Bucks have a poor 3-9 record at this venue.<\/span><\/p>\n Head to Head Record<\/b><\/p>\n The Celtics won the first meeting of the season 122-113. But the Bucks have won 6 of the last 10 meetings.<\/span><\/p>\n Best Bet<\/b><\/p>\n Bucks Win = $2.00<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n The 76ers head to Memphis after a huge win over the Warriors on their home court. Thybulle produced a great defensive effort against Steph Curry and Joel Embiid dominated the second half on his way to 26 pts \/ 9 rebounds. This should be another tough matchup against the in-form Grizzlies. But Embiid should enjoy a favourable matchup against their banged up front court.<\/span><\/p>\n Memphis will be looking for their 3rd straight win on Tuesday and despite missing Ja Morant, they’ve won 7 of 8 games without him. Dillon Brooks led the way in their recent win over the Rockets with 25 pts and they also overcame the loss of Jaren Jackson Jr. There’s more injury worries with Steven Adams spraining his ankle against the Rockets and he’ll be questionable for this one.<\/span><\/p>\n The major question in this matchup is how the Grizzlies can continue to overcome a growing injury list. We believe it will hurt them against the confident 76ers as they just knocked off the Warriors. Joel Embiid will have a great matchup in this contest and should lead them to victory.<\/span><\/p>\n Stadium Record<\/b><\/p>\n The Grizzlies are 4-1 in their last 5 home games. Philadelphia has lost their last 5 games in Memphis.<\/span><\/p>\n Head to Head Record<\/b><\/p>\nPhiladelphia 76ers (15-12) at Memphis Grizzlies (16-11)<\/b><\/h3>\n
