Milwaukee: news and form
Milwaukee had started this series well by winning their opponent 89-101. The Celtics looked miffed as they upped their game a lot for Game 2. The Bucks suffered a lot in the first two quarters and were already 25 points behind at halftime. They showed a better face on the last two occasions but still finished this match far behind on the scoreboard (109-86). The Wisconsin franchise regains home-court advantage this Saturday and that might be the difference. Mike Bundenholzer’s players should rely on their supporters to try to get back in front.
Bucks: players to watch
Despite his team’s loss, the best player of the last NBA Finals Giannis Antetokounmpo was still imperial. With 28 points, 9 rebounds and 7 assists, he continues to heal his individual statistics in these final stages. His presence under the basket is always a poison for his opponents since he has taken 12.9 rebounds per game since the start of the play-offs. While Khris Middleton is still out, Jrue Holiday was solid with 19 points. On the other hand, players like Brook Lopez or Grayson Allen missed out on their game. They will have to do much better this Saturday.
Boston: news and form
Very nice reaction of pride from the men of Ime Udoka. Boston had been defeated at home for the first game and showed a much better face in game 2. He regained his offensive drive and his speed of ball circulation. The Massachusetts franchise knew this series would be extremely tricky to negotiate, and it’s delivering on all of its promises so far. His excellent start to the match allowed him to manage the rest of the game. In the overheated atmosphere of the Bucks stadium, it will be difficult to start as strong.
Celtics: players to watch
For this second duel once morest the Bucks, the victory is all the more beautiful as Boston was deprived of its leader Marcus Smart. The player might make his return and would necessarily be a sharper weapon than Derrick White in the construction of the game. The Celtics were in any case able to count on their magic pair formed by Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum. The two Americans had a big game finishing with 30 and 29 points respectively. Grant Williams also stood out with 21 points and will be one to watch once morest the Bucks.

After the Celtics’ stinging victory, we find it hard to imagine Milwaukee losing a second time, especially for their return to their lair. Betting on a Bucks success therefore seems the most prudent option for this third confrontation between the two franchises.

For our second prediction, we are betting on a big performance from Jrue Holiday. The Bucks will need him in his best form to come to the aid of Antetokounmpo. The leader has responded so far and had already reached this symbolic bar during Milwaukee’s first success.
