Odds Checker: Take the Celtics to cover vs. Bucks in Game 2

Jason Radowitz writes: "The Celtics also lost on the glass and turned the ball over 18 times. Over the regular season, Milwaukee wasn't a major threat when it came to turnovers either, earning just 13% turnovers on the year. The Bucks will ultimately get more second chances but the Celtics are still the better defense despite what happened in Game 1. The Bucks will limit second chances on their end and limit foul shots but Boston's offense was just a bit more consistent over the year. The Bucks aren't the Nets. The offense isn't going to come easily. But look for the Celtics to make adjustments and improve on the defensive end while earning better shot attempts inside the arc. Grab the Celtics at -4."

SGPN: Celtics, Bucks have mixed results against the spread

It writes: "Boston has covered the spread 47 times over 88 games with a set spread. In games they were favored in by 4 points or more so far this season, the Celtics went 24-25-2 against the spread. Milwaukee is 45-46-0 against the spread this year. The Bucks have an ATS record of 3-4 when playing as at least 4-point underdogs."

Top Bet: Celtics 108, Bucks 105

It writes: "Boston is fine. Being down 0-1 to the reigning NBA champions isn’t an ideal position to be in, but the Celtics have enough in their bag to get a win in Game 2. It should also work to their advantage that the next game is still at TD Garden. In Game 1, Boston’s top gunners were a bit silenced. Jayson Tatum scored 21 points but was just 6/18 from the field. Jaylen Brown only had 12 points on a salty 4/13 shooting. As a team, the Celtics shot only 33.3 percent from the field. However, they were 18/50 from behind the arc, and that 3-point shooting is something the Celtics hope would carry over into the next game. Al Horford hit 4 of those threes on just 9 attempts, showing his willingness and reliability to make Milwaukee’s defense honest. Tatum and Brown will be pressed to be more efficient offensively in Game 2 to pair up with Boston’s defense that still impressed in the series opener, holding Milwaukee to only 41.1 percent shooting."
