Boston Celtics vs. Milwaukee Bucks Preview: A Potential Playoff Preview in Milwaukee

Both teams face key absences in a crucial seeding game as the Celtics, second in the East, visit the Bucks, who sit 11th in conference standings.

  • On Monday at 7:30 p.m. EST, the Milwaukee Bucks host the Boston Celtics in Milwaukee, with the game being the third meeting this season between the teams.
  • With both teams missing top players, Giannis Antetokounmpo is out with a calf and Jayson Tatum is out with an Achilles injury, testing Milwaukee's interior physical style and board control.
  • The Bucks are averaging 110.4 points and shooting 47.3% while allowing 115.7, and the Celtics average 115.0 points with 51.0 rebounds.
  • With seeding implications tightening, role players like Bobby Portis and Kevin Porter Jr. could see larger roles.
  • After a lopsided prior meeting, the Celtics routed the Bucks 107-79 on Feb. 1, making this game a key measuring stick, especially with Boston's 11.8 fast-break points per game.
