Sports Betting Dime: Take the Bucks with the points in Game 7 vs. Celtics

Quinn Allen writes: "Honestly, I like Bucks +5 here. The lines will probably move by the time Sunday rolls around as I mentioned above, so jumping on that is a good idea right now. This could very well be a one-possession game given the circumstances and honestly, this could go either way. You can’t count out a championship team like Milwaukee, but if Tatum plays as he did in Game 6, they have a legitimate chance at advancing as well."

Sports Chat Place: Go with the Bucks with the points vs. Celtics in Game 7

Randy Chambers writes: "The Boston Celtics should be favored at home, and they should win if we’re being honest. However, the road team has won four of the six meetings in this series and most of the games have come down to the wire. Neither defense is going to allow the other team to completely run away with things. The Milwaukee Bucks also have this championship mentality that forces them to play hard regardless of score. This game should be close based on what we’ve seen through six games. The Celtics probably win because of the shot makers, but the value is with the Bucks and free buckets."

Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum (0) battles Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo, left, for the ball during first half of Game 5.
Top Bet: Bucks 108, Celtics 103

It writes:  "Somebody get Giannis Antetokounmpo help. The two-time league MVP did the heavy lifting again for the Bucks in Game 6 in which he poured in 44 points and collected a mammoth total of 20 rebounds. He also went 14/30 from the field and 14/15 from the free-throw line. Jrue Holiday had 17 points but was 7/17 from the field, while Brook Lopez and Bobby Portis combine for just 10 points. It’s been repeatedly proven in the series that Antetkounmpo is an unstoppable force, but the Celtics would gladly let him dominate as long as his teammates keep on shooting blanks, which was the case in Game 6. In other words, the onus in Game 7 for the Bucks is on the likes of Holiday, Lopez, Portis, and even Grayson Allen."
