OddsChecker: Take the Celtics to cover vs. Bucks in Game 5

Jason Radowitz writes: "With Marcus Smart healthy, the Celtics are a real threat. Robert Williams could also be back for Game 5, which would only help the rebounding situation. It would also help defend Giannis. In Game 2, at home, the Celtics had a really good plan to contain Giannis. He was brutal in the first half of that game and then ultimately forced a whole bunch of shots in the second half with the massive differential with the score in the game. At home, I'll ride Boston. They've been more consistent as a unit."

ESPN: Celtics have an 82% chance to win the game

The site's Basketball Power Index gives the Bucks an 18.1% chance to win the game.

Top Bet: Bucks 109, Celtics 105

It writes: "Despite missing one key starter in Robert Williams, the Celtics found a way to upset the Bucks on the road. The Celtics caught Milwaukee by surprise, particularly with the performance of Horford, who one-upped his Game 3 performance (22 points) with a huge 30-point outing while also grabbing 8 rebounds to go with 3 assists. He played the Robin to Jayson Tatum’s Batman, with the latter putting up a double-double of 30 points and 13 rebounds, while also dropping 5 dimes in 42 minutes. There’s no word yet at the moment whether Time Lord will be able to see action in Game 5, but with the way Horford is playing, the Celtics seem to be capable of taking care of business in the paint with Horford at the forefront of their frontline."
