Boston enters this game on the second leg of a back-to-back, having played the Detroit Pistons at home Wednesday night. This marks the Celtics first road game in a week, having played three home contests since their road defeat last Thursday to the Philadelphia 76ers. How the Celtics cope with the travel demands heading into this game will be key, as Boston looks to utilize its balanced attack led by Kemba Walker to cool off one of the hottest teams in the league.
Milwaukee has won nine of its last 10 games and has only lost twice at home. The Bucks last game was a 128-102 drubbing of the New York Knicks at home on Tuesday. Giannis Antetokounmpo led the Bucks with 37 points in that game, as four scorers reached double figures for a Bucks team that was able to empty its bench in the late stages. Having an extra day of rest in hand combined with the rest late against the Knicks could be advantageous to the Bucks in this potential playoff preview.
