Celtics at Bucks: Prediction, point spread, odds, over/under, betting picks (Mar. 26)
The Milwaukee Bucks and Boston Celtics close out a two-game series on Friday night, and if you’re looking to do some last-minute betting research, you’re in luck! We’ll give you the latest point spread, moneyline odds and over-under number, as well as the information you’ll need to make the smartest bet on BetMGM.
The game tips off at 7:30 and can be seen on ESPN.
On Wednesday, the Celtics made a strong fourth-quarter comeback to cover the spread (and hit the over), but fell 121-119. Khris Middleton led the Bucks with 27 points while Giannis Antetokounmpo had a relatively quiet game with just 13 points on 11 attempts.
Daniel Theis, who had a shot to win Wednesday’s game, is no longer a Celtic after a deadline-day trade, and Javonte Green and Jeff Teague have also departed. New arrival Evan Fournier will not be active against the Bucks, but could potentially play Saturday.

Advice and prediction
On a quiet night for Giannis, the Bucks led by 14 at the start of the fourth quarter, and led by as many as nine with 3:02 remaining. With the Celtics missing an important role player in Theis and with Fournier not yet on the floor, I think the Bucks are better suited to close out a win and cover on Friday. Take the Bucks -6, and the over 235.5.
Prediction: Bucks 124, Celtics 113
