The Bucks didn't get off to a great start this year but they are starting to roll in their games lately. They have looked a lot better lately with their 10-4 record overall and everything is starting to click for them now with 5 wins in a row. The Celtics have also looked really good this season though with their 11-3 record overall and they have been playing well right from the start. They are undefeated in their home games this season with their 5-0 home record while the Bucks are only 4-3 in their road games. The Celtics are bound to drop a game at home though and they haven't looked as good in their games lately, coming off a loss in Charlotte the other night. They have been crushing teams at home all year but the Bucks have looked a lot better in their games lately and they are the hotter team coming into this matchup. The Bucks have the potential to win this game outright with how good they have been lately. The best way to place a bet here is on the Bucks to cover the spread in this game.
