  • Boston Celtics won 113-107 when the two teams last met on November 10

Milwaukee Bucks Form

Milwaukee head to Boston looking to bounce back from a defeat that ended their seven-game win streak.

The Bucks lost nine of their first 13 games, but kick-started their campaign with their red-hot run in the second half November.

They began that win streak at home as they beat Houston 101-100, Chicago 122-106, Indiana 129-117 and Charlotte 125-119.

Milwaukee then downed Miami 106-103 on the road, and followed it up with a 124-114 win at home to Washington and a 128-107 victory in Detroit.

The Bucks failed to make it eight-in-a-row though, as they were beaten 119-104 by Atlanta.

Boston Celtics Form

Boston go into this matchup having won back-to-back backs and nine of the last 10 to improve to 18-4.

The Celtics have been on a tear since the second half of November as they attempt to win back-to-back NBA crowns.

They ended last month on a seven-game win streak that started with a 139-114 win in Brooklyn, which was followed by home wins over Toronto, 126-123 OT, and Cleveland 120-117.

Boston then sandwiched home wins over Minnesota, 107-105, and the LA Clippers, 126-94, with road wins over Washington, 108-96, and Chicago, 138-129.

The Celtics’ run was finally ended by a 115-111 defeat in Cleveland, but they have rebounded at home by beating Miami 108-89 and Detroit 130-120.

Verdict

Boston are the better team, but the injury report suggests they could be short-handed.

Milwaukee, meanwhile, are in good form and could have Middleton back for this one, so give us the Bucks and the points.
