The Eastern Conference Semifinals series returns to Milwaukee with the Boston Celtics on the brink of elimination. The Bucks overcame a 14-point deficit in the fourth quarter of Game 5 and ended up winning 110-107. That result allowed the reigning champions to take a 3-2 lead.

 

Once again Giannis Antetokounmpo led the way with 40 points and 11 rebounds. He was followed by Jrue Holiday (24 points), who has been his best ally since Khris Middleton got hurt during the first-round series against the Chicago Bulls.

 

The biggest surprise of the night was Bobby Portis, who contributed 15 rebounds and 14 points coming off the bench. Portis’ offensive rebound and follow shot with 11 seconds remaining provided the difference-making points.

 

“Playoffs are all about moments. It’s not about how many shots you make. It’s not about how many points you score. It’s about moments. We got a lot of guys on this team that can have moments,” Portis explained.

 

As for the Celtics, no surprises as Jason Tatum (34 points) and Jaylen Brown (24 points) led the way. Boston is really missing Robert Williams III, who didn’t play in the last two games due to a knee injury. Unfortunately for them, he remains questionable for Game 6.

 

Speaking of Game 6, the Bucks come in as the NBA betting favorites by 1½ points (-110). Curiously enough, Milwaukee is 1-7 against the spread in its last eight games at home. On the other hand, Boston is 6-14 straight up in its last 20 games played in May.

 

The previous two games at Fiserv Forum finished with 204 and 224 points in total. This time, the total is set at 211 points. Keep in mind that the total has gone under in six of the Bucks’ last seven games when playing as the favorites.

 

Game 7, if necessary, is scheduled for Sunday Night in Boston.
