The injury status of Celtics shooting guard Jaylen Brown looms large over this game. Brown hasn’t played since Boston’s 124-109 victory over Charlotte on November 1st. The Celtics have gone 3-1 straight up and 1-3 against the spread in the 3 games that Brown has been out. He’s the team’s second-leading scorer and one of the club’s better perimeter defenders. He’s questionable for this contest. If Jaylen Brown can’t play, the Celtics will almost certainly feel his absence.
The Bucks need to start playing better now if they don’t want their season to get away from them. Milwaukee is 2-7 straight up this season and 3-6 against the spread. The Bucks are coached by Doc Rivers, who was the Celtics head coach for 10 years earlier this century. He will have the team motivated and ready to play in what could turn out to be a pivotal game on Sunday.
One final stat drives the point home for Milwaukee. The Bucks are 4-1 ATS in the last calendar year against the Celtics. Milwaukee faced Boston at home twice in that span. The Bucks won both games at Fiserv Forum by double digits. I don’t know if Milwaukee will win going away on Sunday, but I do think they’ll cover. I’m taking the Bucks and the points at home in this one.
