Boston Celtics vs Milwaukee Bucks Prediction NBA Picks 11/10/24

The Boston Celtics pay a visit to the Milwaukee Bucks at the Fiserv Forum on Sunday afternoon. Here’s a Boston Celtics vs Milwaukee Bucks Prediction. This article will include a Boston Celtics vs Milwaukee Bucks Pick.

The Boston Celtics have been on a tear as they’ve won eight of their first 10 games overall and they will be eager to stay hot after sneaking past the Nets in a 108-104 overtime home win on Friday. Jayson Tatum led the team with 33 points, nine rebounds, and six assists, Payton Pritchard added 20 points off the bench, Jrue Holiday scored 17 points with five assists while Derrick White chipped in with 14 points and six assists. As a team, the Celtics shot 43 percent from the field and 14 of 53 from the 3-point line, but this win was more about their defense as they restricted the Nets to just 16 points in the fourth quarter to erase an early 14-point deficit, before they pulled away in the overtime period behind clutch shots from Tatum and Pritchard. The Celtics will face the Hawks, Nets, and Raptors following this one.

Meanwhile, the Milwaukee Bucks have been in a major slump as they’ve lost seven of their first nine games overall and they will be hoping for a better effort after getting embarrassed by the Knicks in a 116-94 road defeat on Friday. Giannis Antetokounmpo led the team with 24 points, 12 rebounds, and two blocks, Damian Lillard added 19 points with six assists while Tyler Smith chipped in with 10 points off the bench but no other player finished in double figures in scoring. As a team, the Bucks shot 43 percent from the field and just seven of 30 from the 3-point line as they struggled to keep pace with the Knicks from the start and just never had a chance in a game where they trailed by as many as 30 points at one stage. 

The Celtics are keeping eyes on Jaylen Brown and Luke Kornet who are both questionable, while the Bucks have ruled out Khris Middleton again and they have Gary Trent Jr listed as questionable. These two teams have already met back on Oct 28 and it was the Celtics who won by 119-118, but it was a 30-point game from Brown that was the difference on that occasion. I think we’re in for another close contest which is why the line is so low, but I still think the Celtics are the more consistent team who should get cover on the road.
