The Celtics face a must-win Game 6 in Milwaukee to keep their season alive. They come off a hugely disappointing collapse in Game 5 as they struggled in crunch time. In the last quarter, the Bucks outscored them 33-21 and that was the major difference. However, they head to Milwaukee with confidence after completing a similar comeback in Game 4. Jaylen Brown was impressive in Game 5 with 26 pts and 6 assists. He was well supported by Tatum’s 34 pts and the Celtics star has scored 30+ in back to back games after a 10 pt effort in Game 3. Al Horford had a quiet outing in Game 5 with just 8 pts but he’ll be looking to replicate his 30 pt outing on this court in Game 4. In terms of injuries, Robert Williams is still struggling with a knee injury and has missed the 2 games. But with the series on the line, the Celtics will be desperate to get him out there.<\/span><\/p>\n The Bucks turned around their fortunes in this series with a massive 3 pt win in Game 5. They now get the opportunity to close the series on their home court and will be favoured to do so. It’s all about the Giannis and Holiday duo. Giannis comes off a 40 pt outing and 11 boards. However, he would like to improve in the turnover department after committing 7 in Game 5. Holiday was excellent defensively down the stretch, including a key block on Smart’s layup in the last minute. He finished with 24 pts. Bobby Portis also stepped up with 14 pts and 15 boards. Interestingly, Khris Middleton has been listed as questionable so he could return in Game 6. But that would come with a minutes restriction.<\/span><\/p>\n Boston have been strong on the road in this year’s playoffs and with their season up for grabs, we’re tipping they’ll force a Game 7. The Celtics have covered in their last 5 road games and also hold a 5-0 ATS record in Milwaukee. The Bucks have struggled to cover at home as they’re 1-7 ATS<\/span><\/p>\n Stadium Record<\/b><\/p>\n The Bucks are 10-4 in their last 14 home games.
