Boston Celtics Team News

The Celtics are the best team in the league and are 11-3, and they have never been defeated at home, this season. However, in the last couple of games, they are struggling quite a bit, which especially culminated in the defeat in the last game against the Hornets when they were defeated after overtime. In addition to the loss against the Hornets, they were also very close to losing against the Grizzlies, but luck was on their side as the Grizzlies missed an open three-point shot a few seconds before the end of the match.

From the very start of the season, the Celtics have been playing great basketball, with a quick flow of the ball that opens up a lot of free positions and easy points. No one has outplayed or broken them this season, and two of the three defeats came after extra time. In addition to the excellent attack, they raised the level of defense, which will be one of the key factors in the rest of the season. The shot will not go consistently, so the defense will have to take the main role and score easy points in transition.

The problem for the Celtics lately is the rather bad form of Brown, who scored a combined 25 points in the last two matches, with very poor percentages from the game. Celtics fans expect him to play especially well against the Bucks, as well as Jrue Holiday, who wants to prove himself against his former team. An important factor in this match will be the defense of Giannis, and Horford, even though he is already in his late playing years, is one of the best defenders of the “Greek Freak”. In addition to that defense, a very important item for the Celtics will be the performance of the bench players, especially Pritchard and Hauser. Pritchard played well in the match against the Hornets, scoring 21 points.

Milwaukee Bucks Team News

At the very start of the season, the Bucks experienced numerous changes and it took time for them to find the right rhythm, but as the season progressed, they looked better and more coordinated. They have especially consolidated since the return of Khris Middleton, who has been the real x-factor of the Bucks team for years and works well with Giannis. The experienced Lillard has also found his role in the Bucks system, who plays much more rationally and is more subordinate to the team than to his personal statistics, as was the case at the very start of the season.

However, the alpha and omega of the team is Giannis Antetokounmpo. He has especially improved his form in the last few games and looks totally unstoppable. In the last match, he scored 42 points, of which he shot an unreal 20/23 from the field. When it is in this form, neither a „plaster“ nor a “double-team” on it helps. As soon as defenses try to double him, he finds free shooters who have open shooting positions. In recent years, the Celtics have been a real “kryptonite” for the Bucks and Giannis, i.e. they had the most “materials” to slow him down and defend him.

The problem for the Bucks in this match could be the solid team defense of the Celtics, who constantly maintain the intensity, do not allow their opponents a large number of points, and especially defend the game in transition, which is the strongest weapon of the Bucks.
