In an exciting Eastern Conference fixture, the Milwaukee Bucks will welcome the Boston Celtics to kick off the week in the second-half of their respective back-to-back sets. The Bucks are riding off a blowout loss to the Chicago Bulls, their second consecutive loss. On the other hand, the Boston Celtics have occupied the second spot with a 39-20 record and are riding off a huge win over the Philadelphia 76ers. 

The Celtics are 7.5-point favorites with moneyline at -320 and a total around 215.5 points. These NBA odds tonight suggest that the Celtics are highly-likely to record a significant win. We have got our NBA Best Bets, a same-game parlay, and a few player props for tonight’s fixture. 

Here’s how we are betting Milwaukee Bucks vs Boston Celtics on Monday. 

Best Bet for Milwaukee Bucks vs Boston Celtics 

Best Bet: Boston Celtics -7.5 (-110)

Book: Best price at FanDuel 

Our best bet for Milwaukee Bucks vs Boston Celtics is Celtics -7.5 (-110) against the spread. 

The Boston Celtics have established their dominance in the current season despite a few initial hiccups. On road, the Celtics have recorded 20 wins in 31 games thus far, and have won eight of their last ten games. The Bucks, on the flip side, are 14-14 at home and have emerged six wins in their last ten games. 

Statistically, the Celtics have the second-best offensive rating and seventh-best defensive rating. The Bucks, on the flip side, are 22nd and 23rd offensively and defensively, respectively. Not only this, but in terms of their net rating, the Celtics are amongst the top five teams in the league, while their counterparts have occupied a below-rack seed. 

The spread at Celtics -7.5 fits the visitors well considering their elite on-court balance and their rivals’ offensive and defensive struggles. The 18-time champions cover well in such spots. 

Considering their solid record on road, offensive and defensive edge as well as the Bucks’ poor stats, we are comfortably laying the Boston Celtics -7.5 (-110) as our Best Bet and expect them to cover the number tonight. 

Same-Game Parlay Picks for Milwaukee Bucks vs Boston Celtics 

3-Leg SGP (Safer) 

  • Leg 1: Jaylen Brown Over 29.5 points 
  • Leg 2: Derrick White Over 17.5 points 
  • Leg 3: Payton Pritchard Over 17.5 points 

Combined odds: +769 

We have built this same-game parlay around the Boston Celtics players to dominate the court right from the beginning. Jaylen Brown is leading the offensive engine for the Celtics with over 29 points per game. White has been dropping over 17 points per game while Pritchard is coming up with around 17.3 points per game. 

These legs are correlated considering if the Celtics get control of the game right from the beginning, their players will end up with more scoring opportunities. Thus, they would be able to put more points on the statsheet. Hence, this is our safer SGP option.

Milwaukee Bucks vs Boston Celtics Top Player Prop Odds 

Given how prop-heavy NBA betting is, we are also eyeing these player props for Milwaukee Bucks vs Boston Celtics on Monday. 

  • Kevin Porter Jr. Over 19.5 points (-106
  • Ryan Rollins Over 17.5 points (-102)
  • Neemias Queta Over 7.5 rebounds (-118)

These legs fit well into usage and volume. With Giannis Antetokounmpo probably missing action due to injury hiatus, Kevin Porter Jr and Ryan Rollins have stepped up to take offensive charge for their team. They would want to take advantage of playing at home and put up some scores against the stronger Celtics. Queta, on the other hand, has a solid grip on the board, and we see him doing the same against the Bucks.
