Narrative

This is one of the stronger calls on the slate — Boston at 91% on the road. Boston has an edge in net rating (offensive minus defensive rating) diff (20g). Boston carries a stronger Elo rating (-410), reflecting a higher overall caliber of play. Milwaukee is pulling down -9.3 RPG recently, controlling the glass and generating extra possessions.

Milwaukee Bucks is missing Giannis Antetokounmpo, its top scorer, and 2 other rotation players, which materially cuts into its scoring depth.
