<h2>
Boston Celtics at Milwaukee Bucks Overview<br />
</h2>
<p>
<b>Boston Celtics </b>
</p>
<p>
In Game Four, Milwaukee managed to shoot a paltry 21.6% from beyond the three-point line and hit only 68% of their free throws. Nevertheless, Boston did not do itself any favors as the Celtics procured a 22% success rate from three-point range despite finishing the season as a top-seven outfit with a 36.5% three-point percentage.
</p>
<p>
<b>Milwaukee Bucks </b>
</p>
<p>
The Celtics lead by as much as 11 points but nevertheless found themselves bested by a double-digit margin thanks to the efforts of The Greek Freak. Giannis Antetokuonmpo was the headline-grabber in Game Four as he went off for 39 points and 16 rebounds. The Bucks frontcourt of Eric Bledsoe and Khris Middleton combined for 26 points and 10 assists to complement the all-star forward’s production. Most notably, the key to the Milwaukee victory was found down-low as the Bucks bullied the Celtics by a margin of 66-44 in terms of points in the paint.

<h2>
Reasons To Avoid Boston<br />
</h2>
<p>
At the present moment 64% of the betting public like the Celtics here with the points which in itself raises a red flag given the prospect that Milwaukee could be grossly undervalued in this spot. It was just yesterday that we saw a similar scenario unfold with the Philadelphia 76ers in their contest with the Toronto Raptors in Game Five where over 60% of the consensus loved the Sixers with the points. Toronto, of course, would march onto embarrassing Philly by a margin of 36 points. A similar scenario can easily unfold here.

<h2>
Reasons To Back Milwaukee<br />
</h2>
<p>
Embellishing upon the sentiments of why one should fade Boston in Game Five, it is worth mentioning that the Bucks outscore opponents on average by a margin of 12.2 points in the Fiserv Forum. Because takers are asked to spot a basket less than that in this position, the price dictates the play alone even before opposing morale and motivation is taken into consideration.

Celtics at Bucks Prediction 05/08/2019

Based on the Celtics' body language alone after Game Four, this series looks to be over. Boston may very well likely show up to this contest in "body but not spirit" while the Deer will be supercharged taking their own floor with the prospect of moving onto the Eastern Conference Finals. The Bucks will gallop onto wallop the C's and close out the series with style.
