The Boston Celtics (2-1) and the Milwaukee Bucks (2-1) will lock horns for a re-match of the 2019 Eastern Conference Semifinals in Beantown on Wednesday, October 30th, 2019. The game will be televised on ESPN and FSN with a scheduled tip-off time of 7:30 PM ET. When the two sides met in last year's playoffs, the Bucks defeated the Celtics handily in a gentleman's sweep taking down Boston in just five games. Milwaukee, as a result, has covered in the last four meetings between both parties. In the close-out game, Milwaukee marched all over Boston in a 116-91 victory to enable the Deer to cover as an 8.5-point favorite easy when the two sides last met in May.

Milwaukee Bucks at Boston Celtics Overview<br />
</h2>
<p>
<b>Milwaukee Bucks </b>
</p>
<p>
Milwaukee comes into this game off a win and cover earned at home against divisional rival Cleveland on Monday. Closing as a 15.5-point favorite, the Deer galloped over the line to defeat the Cav's 129-112. Milwaukee also owns an impressive road win at Houston that kicked off its 2019-2020 campaign.
</p>
<p>
<b>Boston Celtics </b>
</p>
<p>
Boston comes into this game with two extra days of rest compared to their counterparts. We last saw the C's in action on Saturday in the Big Apple against the New York Knicks, where they would summarily trounce their rivals by a score of 118-95 and cover easily as a five-point favorite.

<h2>
Reasons To Avoid Milwaukee<br />
</h2>
<p>
Milwaukee was the most profitable team against the spread in the 2018-2019 season and many individuals' choice to win the Eastern Conference in the 2019-2020 season. As a result of both of these narratives, the Bucks are prone to be overvalued in most games they play. In the first game against Boston since they made an example out of them in the post-season, Milwaukee is especially vulnerable to an overlay and overreaction from the general public. The problem is for the Deer is that they appear short-priced here, spotting less than a three-pointer to the hosts, and 70% of the public has jumped on accordingly. However, had Boston taken Milwaukee the distance in last year's playoff series and not looked so vanilla when they took their lumps, Boston would be favored here. The value is actually on Boston.

<h2>
Reasons To Back Boston<br />
</h2>
<p>
Though Point Guards Kyrie Irving and Terry Rozier have both left Beantown from a combination of free agency acquisitions and trades, much of the nucleus of the Boston team that were present for last year's series with Milwaukee are on the Boston roster for this contest. Two years ago, Boston stole a series in the NBA Playoffs against these Bucks, and last year, the Deer retaliated. Now it's Boston's turn, and I can assure you that they are sick and tired of hearing about what happened against Milwaukee in the Eastern Conference Semifinals in May. This is their chance to respond to the scrutiny, and the Celtics have plenty of bulletin board material to use for motivation. Given the fact that Boston is a dog on its own court, I expect the Celtics to feel disrespected and play this game with a massive chip on their shoulder.
