The Boston Celtics will make the trip to the state of Wisconsin to face the Milwaukee Bucks for the last game of their last road trip (and their penultimate road game) of the 2025-26 NBA regular season to face the Bucks at Fiserv Forum this Friday (April 3) evening. There, the Celtics will be looking to keep their recent success moving forward vs. a diminished version of an East foe that has given them more trouble in the past than they likely will in this tilt.
The Bucks, for their part, are going to be looking to bounce back after a loss to a Western Conference foe — and with several key players sitting out. Given all of this, we expect a Boston win, but wilder things have happened in this league.
