The home team has won each of the first five games of the first-round series, a trend the Bucks must keep tonight to keep the series alive. With the home team 5-0 straight up and 4-1 ATS in the series, we’ll stick with that trend.
The Bucks could not make a bucket late in Game 5, allowing the Celtics to dictate the tempo and it cost them dearly. Milwaukee do not have the ball movement and spacing required to play half-court ball, and must push the pace tonight to get the job done as they did in Games 3 and 4.
Looking for the Bucks to push the pace tonight. Overs best.
Best Bet = Milwaukee -4.5
