The Boston Celtics have been one of the best teams in the NBA post the All-Star break. Their defense has been a big part of their recent success.

The Milwaukee Bucks are currently third in the East with a 49-30 record. This is the fourth time in a row that the Bucks have been the Central Division champions, which shows how consistent they have been over the past few seasons.

Giannis Antetokounmpo has been brilliant since the start of the year. He has further elevated his game by adding a decent jumpshot to his ever-improving armory of skills. The Greek Freak thrives under big situations and with this being an important game for the Bucks, a stellar performance can be expected from him.

They have performed exceptionally well against some of the best teams in the league and the same is expected out of them when they take on the Celtics. Playing at home, the Bucks have been good, but the Celtics are a different team now and if they are allowed too many chances, they could grab it with open arms and punish the Bucks during the game.
