Four of the last five matchups between these teams have gone over this total, and the Bucks have leaned over in recent contests this season. Milwaukee has eclipsed the O\/U in three of its last four outings as its defense has struggled, as the team has allowed 120.4 points over its last five games overall.<\/p>\n<p>The Over is 5-2 across Milwaukee&#8217;s last seven home games, while Boston brings one of the league&#8217;s most efficient offenses into Milwaukee. The Celtics are second in offensive rating, third in made 3-pointers per game and average the fewest turnovers. While Jaylen Brown is projected to be this game&#8217;s leading scorer with nearly 30 points, more Bucks (seven) are forecasted to reach double-figures than Celtics (four). A total of 225 points are scored, per the simulations, with the Over clearing in 68% of simulations in an A-rated pick.<\/p>\n<p>How to make Bucks vs. Celtics   picks<\/p>\n<p>It also says one side of the spread hits more than 60% of the time.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportsline.com\/insiders\/celtics-vs-bucks-odds-line-proven-model-reveals-nba-picks-for-matchup-on-monday-march-2\/#ttag=03022026_agg_cbssports_picks_basketball_nba_model_CelticsBucks\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">You can head to SportsLine to see the model&#8217;s NBA picks<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>So who wins Celtics vs. Bucks, and which side of the spread hits more than 60% of the time? <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportsline.com\/insiders\/celtics-vs-bucks-odds-line-proven-model-reveals-nba-picks-for-matchup-on-monday-march-2\/#ttag=03022026_agg_cbssports_picks_basketball_nba_model_CelticsBucks\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Visit SportsLine now to see which side of the Bucks vs. Celtics spread to back, all from the model that has returned well over $10,000 on top-rated NBA picks<\/a>, and find out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Surging Eastern Conference teams will meet on Monday&#8217;s NBA schedule as the Boston Celtics visit the Milwaukee Bucks.&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":611635,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3766],"tags":[7,45,75,3798,77858,77859,77860,46,77855,77857,77856,121,6,24770,57148],"class_list":{"0":"post-634294","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-boston-celtics","8":"tag-basketball","9":"tag-boston","10":"tag-boston-celtics","11":"tag-bostonceltics","12":"tag-bucks-celtics-odds","13":"tag-bucks-celtics-picks","14":"tag-bucks-celtics-prediction","15":"tag-celtics","16":"tag-celtics-bucks-odds","17":"tag-celtics-bucks-picks","18":"tag-celtics-bucks-prediction","19":"tag-milwaukee-bucks","20":"tag-nba","21":"tag-nba-odds","22":"tag-nba-picks-today"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nba\/116159388484182408","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/634294","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=634294"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/634294\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/611635"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=634294"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=634294"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=634294"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
