The Celtics (49-40-2 ATS) went 10-4 SU in their last 14 games but are 10-2 ATS in their last 12 matches against the Bucks. The total has gone OVER in 13 of Boston’s last 20 outings, even as the Celtics were 6-0 ATS in their last six contests when playing on the road against the Bucks.

The Bucks (44-48 ATS) were 0-6 ATS in their last six matches when playing at home against the Celtics but are 6-2 SU in their last eight outings, even as the total has gone OVER in 10 of Milwaukee’s last 14 games against Boston. Milwaukee stole Game 5 on the road, 110-107, on Wednesday as they want to avoid sending the series back to Boston by advancing into the conference finals.

Boston lost Game 5 despite getting a career-high 30 points from Al Horford, who also exerted his energy trying to slow down All-Star forward Giannis Antetokounmpo, who’s avering 32 points, 13 rebounds and eight assists in the series so far. If they cannot stop Antetokounmpo, the Celtics will need another impressive effort from Horford, along with the usual numbers by Jayson Tatum (26.9 ppg, 5.2 rpg) and Jaylen Brown (22.6 ppg, 4.2 apg) to drag the series to a Game 7.

Final Predictions and Picks:

• Spread — 109 Milwaukee Bucks – 101 Boston Celtics
  
• Over/Under — OVER 211 points
