Boston: news and form
Boston was probably the team that finished the regular season the best. With only five losses in the last two months of competition, the Celtics finished second in the Eastern Conference. Their first-round streak once morest the Brooklyn Nets therefore looked very promising on paper. But there wasn’t really any suspense as the franchise in Massachusetts was superior to that in New York. After a first victory at the buzzer, she then rolled out without too much difficulty to win 4-0. While it had been eliminated in the first round of the final stages last season, the Boston team found its letters of nobility.
Celtics: players to watch
The Celtics have a full squad for this meeting, as in the previous one. That hadn’t been enough two days ago, partly because of overly discreet individuals. Most of the franchise’s offensive weight rests on three men: Marcus Smart, Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum. While the Nets’ defense had been pretty loose on all three players, that wasn’t the case with the Bucks. They were a little surprised and finished with 10, 12 and 21 points respectively. They will probably do better this time around. Taytum is particularly to watch as he has posted an impressive average of 27.8 points scored per game since the start of the playoffs.
Milwaukee: news and form
It’s never easy for a team to play another season crowned with the title of NBA champion. Especially when it’s the first time, as it was during this exercise for the Bucks. But they did pretty well, finishing third in the Eastern Conference. For their first round of playoff, they had not inherited the easiest draw by facing the Bulls. While there was a tie following two games played, Milwaukee upped their game and rolled away. The franchise therefore qualified for the semi-finals in five games. She got off to the best start with a fairly wide first success in Boston (89-101).
Bucks: players to watch
Milwaukee is handicapped by a major absence for this second series: that of Khris Middleton. He is traditionally the third man in a well-established attacking team alongside Jrue Holiday and Giannis Antetokounmpo. The first was very successful in game 1 victorious with 25 points and 9 rebounds. But that’s nothing compared to the best player in the last NBA Finals. The Greek planted “only” 24 points but took 13 rebounds and distributed 12 assists. Bobby Portis and Brook Lopez were also big under the basket with 11 and 10 rebounds.

The Celtics started this series badly by bowing from the outset in front of their public. They have every interest in winning this second game before leaving for Milwaukee. The level they displayed in the first round should be able to allow them to beat the Bucks.

For our second prediction, we offer you this more precise bet. Bobby Portis was crucial in game 1 to get the balls under the basket. He’s seamlessly integrated into Milwaukee’s game pattern and should once once more be influential. He posted an excellent average of 11.3 rebounds per playoff game.
