The Boston Celtics are looking to close out their road trip with a win when they battle the Milwaukee Bucks on Friday night.

The C’s got a win in Charlotte then lost in Atlanta the next night. They bounced back from that with a big 147-129 victory in Miami on Wednesday, though.

Milwaukee is just playing out the string of the season. The Bucks have one win in their last six games and two in their last nine contests.

Jayson Tatum, Forward, Boston Celtics

Jayson Tatum’s surprising early return from injury hasn’t gone unnoticed. The veteran is averaging 21.3 points, 9.8 rebounds, and 4.8 assists per game through a dozen contests.

While those numbers aren’t up to what he’s done in recent years, it’s impressive when you consider everything he’s been through. He put up 25 points in Miami on Wednesday and will look to build on that tonight in Milwaukee.

Celtics vs. Bucks Prediction and Pick

It’s been a season to forget for the Bucks, and they’re not finishing it strongly either. They’ve lost five of six, failing to cover the spread against a few playoff teams late in the month of March.

Boston stumbled in Atlanta recently, but that was in the second half of a back-to-back. Outside of that, the Celtics have been pretty dominant. I’ll back the C’s to get another blowout win over the Bucks after their 108-81 victory last month.

Pick: Celtics -16.5 (-108)
