Milwaukee Bucks – Statistics & current form
Giannis Antetokounmpo delivered a very strong performance to open the series. After not quite being able to build on this performance in the following game, the two-time MVP now presented himself improved again.
With 42 points, the “Greek Freak” recorded the best scoring output in the last game. He also kept Head Coach Mike Budenholzer’s team on the winning track with a successful throw shortly before the end of the game.
However, Khris Middleton will still be unable to play. The second best scorer of the Bucks in the regular season is missing due to an injury. Instead, guard George Hill made his first appearance in the 2022 NBA Playoffs in the last game.
Boston Celtics – Statistics & current form
Boston lost the most recent meeting mainly because of Jayson Tatum. The small forward is normally particularly reliable in the visitors’ offence, but recently had a pitch-black day.
He scored only ten points in the game for the Massachusetts franchise. For comparison: His average scoring value in the postseason was previously 28 points per game!
Milwaukee Bucks – Boston Celtics Tip
For the clash between the Milwaukee Bucks and Boston Celtics on 10/05/2022, the forecast includes less than 105.5 points by the visitors. Head coach Ime Udoka’s troops have had big problems with the opponents’ defence so far.
They exceeded the selected limit of points in only one three duels and the average score is 97 per game. Even the best scorer on the side of the record champions Jayson Tatum has been defended very well by the champions so far.
Averaging 20 points in the series, the forward is well below his average of 25.4 points in the postseason. The home side will also be very motivated.
With a win, they could take a 3:1 lead in the series and already have a small preliminary decision in their favour before the change of home court in the next game but one.
