No surprise with this series ending with a Game 7. Boston just dont go away even with the injuries and the Bucks have one of the most unstoppable players in the league. With the previous 2 games being a low scoring slog, the Under is the best while home court has been the winning result.

Best Bet  = Boston -4.5
