Who goes in front?

The Boston Celtics and Milwaukee Bucks face off in Game 5 in the East semifinals. The hosts played the past two games at the champions and recorded a loss and a win in the most recent meeting.

As a result, they have regained the temporarily lost home advantage as the better-placed team in the regular season.

Boston Celtics – Statistics & current form

Head coach Ime Udoka could be very pleased with his team’s performance in Monday night’s game. For the first time in the series, their own offence was convincing with 116 points.

Especially the fourth quarter was extremely successful with 43 points, which turned around the previous deficit of eleven points. Thanks to the success of the Massachusetts franchise, the series is now tied again at 2-2.

Milwaukee Bucks – Statistics & current form

The Bucks certainly still have to come to terms with the last defeat. As mentioned, the final quarter was very weak from their point of view and was surprisingly clearly lost with a difference of no less than 15 points.

A game that was actually under control was completely lost. At least Head Coach Mike Budenholzer can still rely on Giannis Antetokounmpo.

With 34 points and 18 rebounds, the “Greek Freak” fought back against the defeat, even though he was not able to avert it in the end.

Boston Celtics – Milwaukee Bucks Tip

For the showdown between the Boston Celtics and Milwaukee Bucks on 12/05/2022, the betting includes more than 44.5 points and rebounds by Giannis Antetokounmpo.

The two-time MVP is coming off an expectedly strong 2022 NBA postseason so far and has upped his already strong stats on the boards and points compared to the regular season.

With Khris Middleton still injured, the forward is also currently even more in demand as a scorer than he normally is. The Greek has already exceeded the selected limit in points and rebounds in the past two games.
