Celtics vs Bucks Game 6 prediction and pick
The Boston Celtics looked like they have Game 5 all wrapped up with a big lead late in the fourth quarter. But the Milwaukee Bucks made an incredible comeback and left Boston with the biggest victory of the series. Now Milwaukee heads up with hopes of wrapping up the series and advancing. The Celtics have won in Milwaukee before, but they are bruised and beaten. That will make things more difficult when making the Celtics vs Bucks Game 6 prediction.

Full Disclosure
The Celtics looked like they were going to take this series over. I have a bet on the Celtics to win the series, with a small hedge on the Bucks, but it’s starting to look like the Celtics are in big trouble. The Game 4 loss is unforgivable and put a spotlight on the Celtic’s struggle in the clutch. The Celtics posted the 2nd-lowest win percentage in games that featured clutch play during the regular season as they finished with a 13-22 record in clutch games.
Celtics vs Bucks Game 6
The Bucks are -1.5 at home for Game 6 which suggests a close game, which is bad news for the Celtics. Jalen Brown and Jayson Tatum looked good in the last game, but the Celtics are getting beat to rebounds and to loose balls.
Giannis Antetokounmpo is unstoppable. He is the best player on the planet and he is carrying the Bucks in this series. Jrue Holiday is emerging as a good wingman for Giannis. After averaging 19.1 points on 37.1 percent shooting in the playoffs, he played like a superstar and clamped down Marcus Smart to seal the victory. If Holiday has another big game, the Celtics don’t have a chance. And it may even get worse for Boston with the latest news surrounding the status of Khris Middleton.
Nothing official yet but don’t be surprised if Khris Middleton returns this series.
I’m being told he’s progressing well and the #Bucks are not ruling him out for Games 6 (and 7 if necessary)

Celtics vs Bucks Game 6 prediction and pick
The Bucks are the play in this game. The Celtics are running out of gas and if you watch the postgame interviews after Game 5, they look defeated. The Bucks are 5-2-1 against the spread in the last 8 games overall and 3-1-1 ATS as a playoff favorite. This is another classic game between two good teams, but the Bucks win and send the Celtics packing.
