Boston Celtics Preview
Although the Celtics seemed to be in control of the series after their performance in Game 2, the Bucks stunned the side in Game 3. Handing Boston a tough loss on the road, the C's found themselves trailing 2-1 as the series heads into Game 4.
A major reason for the loss could have been the lack of productivity from Jayson Tatum. Having been put through hell after being guarded by Wesley Matthews, Tatum only recorded 10 points on the night.
Boston saw Jaylen Brown and Al Horford step up with 20+ points on the night. However, their overall lack of contribution haunted them as they suffered a two-point loss in the final seconds of the game.
Boston Celtics Predicted Lineup
G - Marcus Smart | G - Jaylen Brown | F - Jayson Tatum | F - Al Horford | C - Robert Williams
Milwaukee Bucks Preview
The Milwaukee Bucks came out on top after a close win in Game 3. Although the Bucks have been a solid team on their home floor, their narrow margin of victory will deny them any relief as they head into the next game.
Giannis Antetokounmpo had a noteworthy performance in Game 3. After a relatively softer outing in Game 2, the Bucks superstar had an outstanding 42-point performance to lead Milwaukee's offensive charge.
Paired with a solid 25 points by Jrue Holiday, the Bucks were in a solid position to notch a win.
With the wind back in their sails, Milwaukee will look to build upon the momentum of their win in Game 3. However, with Khris Middleton still out of the rotation, the Bucks will need a third player to step up as a scoring force.
Milwaukee Bucks Predicted Lineup
G - Jrue Holiday | G - Grayson Allen | F - Wesley Matthews | F - Giannis Antetokounmpo | C - Brook Lopez
