Milwaukee Bucks vs Boston Celtics Pick

The Boston Celtics have hit the over in four of their six games on the second nights of back-to-backs. Milwaukee have gone 13-6 on the over at Fiserv Forum, and even with a seemingly high line set for this game, the value has to be in taking the over.

Over their five-game slump, the Bucks are down in 25th in net rating. Boston played a gruelling overtime game on Wednesday, and now heads on the road to face a high-powered offence. While the teams went under this total when they last met, the Bucks have cleared this line in three of their last four.
