Peter's Pick

The Bucks are still missing Jae Crowder, while the Celtics could again be missing Derrick White for personal reasons. Both teams are coming into this meeting with plenty of winning momentum, but the Celtics are coming off a disappointing loss to the lowly Hornets and they could be shorthanded once again here. The Bucks have strung together five wins in a row and Antetokounmpo has been on an absolute tear, so the Bucks with the points looks like the play in this spot.
