After reaching a historic milestone in its last game, the Boston Celtics travel to earn the season-series victory over the injury-plagued Milwaukee Bucks on Friday.

The Boston Celtics go for the season-series victory over the Milwaukee Bucks on Friday night. The Celtics lead the series 2-1 as they try to improve their standing in the Eastern Conference. Boston has already exceeded expectations by a wide margin with Jayson Tatum out for much of the season, but they hold on to the second seed in the East and have already clinched a playoff spot. They traded for Nikola Vucevic at the trade deadline from the Chicago Bulls, and he hasn’t played that much for his new team yet. He is recovering from a finger injury and is estimated to return on April 5. It’s scary to think this team could get any better, especially since Tatum is back in the starting lineup. The Celtics dominated on the road on March 2, taking the series lead with a 108-81 victory. Payton Pritchard scored 25 points, and Hugo Gonzalez scored a career high 18 points with 16 rebounds. Giannis Antetokounmpo returned after a 15-game absence to lead the Bucks with 19 points. The win was even more impressive for Boston, considering that the Celtics were without Jaylen Brown. This team just keeps finding ways to win, no matter who is in the lineup. The Celtics are the 16.5-point favorites to win the series in this finale on Friday.

The Bucks are coming off a hard-fought game against the Houston Rockets, even though they were the 19.5-point underdogs on the road. Milwaukee lost 119-113 on Wednesday, despite Ousmane Dieng scoring a game and career high 36 points, while Cormac Ryan scored a season-high 25 points. Reed Sheppard led the Rockets with 27 points and hit a career-high nine threes. But the Bucks couldn’t overcome absences from Antetokounmpo, Kyle Kuzma, Myles Turner, and Bobby Portis. At least Kuzma should be available against the Celtics after dealing with an Achilles issue.

Boston is coming off a big 147-129 victory over the Miami Heat on Wednesday. The Celtics swept the Miami Heat 4-0 in the season series in the process. Brown scored 43 points while Tatum put up his first triple-double of the season with 25 points, 18 rebounds, and 11 assists. Boston scored 53 points alone in the first quarter, which is a franchise record and the second most in the first quarter in NBA history. That was against Miami, which has 10 more wins than Milwaukee does. Boston is getting healthy at exactly the right time and has already won four of its last five games.
