Celtics game 1 and 2 and the rest will be Bucks game. Giannis is on different level than KD when it comes to playoffs because he can solo carry his team using his beast power in both offense and defense. Boston is really strong this season but Giannis still Giannis even without Middleton. He can make through the way out of Celtics game. This will be a very interesting game since there will be a lot of physicality coming from both of this team. This will be a good betting opportunity for those handicap bet type lover.

There's a reason why the Celtics are the favorites, although the Bucks dominated the Bulls but remember that they are still playing without Middleton in this 2nd round series. As reported, https://www.hoopsrumors.com/2022/04/khris-middleton-may-miss-second-round-series.html.. it says he might missed the 2nd round but him injured in the 1st round would not easily make him comeback in his full potential.

It's hard to tell bro, but the odds of the Bucks is very attractive, but if you look at the other side, you will also see that the Celtics have swept the Nets in the first-round series. Maybe let's wait a bit from the opinion of the experts before making a decision here, once you put your bet, that's it, so always be careful.

Honestly, I was surprised by the odds. Prior to the odds being released, I'm thinking it shouldn't gap that much.

The Boston Celtics really shocked the NBA community by sweeping one of the favorite teams to clinch the NBA Finals, the Brooklyn Nets. No one or only a few would even think that the Nets will be winless against the Boston Celtics. The duo of Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown really improved that much. Their shooting stroke also improved that even well-defended, they are nailing their shots.

And no one is even talking that their PG Payton Pritchard also plays a big role in their first series game. Brad Stevens really did a great job to include this guy on his usual player rotation.

On the side of the Milwaukee Bucks, I think the odds given to winning that series against Boston Celtics is a worthy bet. Just place your bets prior to the game as odds will be changed obviously after the result of Game 1. Still thinking about who will I favor here but for now, 60/40 I'm on the Milwaukee Bucks. I hope Khris Middleton will have its 100% healthy status back before that game.

The way the Boston Celtics are playing, able to shut down the likes of Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving, Milwaukee Bucks need their full healthy lineup.

true, no one can stop giannis even though there's a good improvement in Boston Celtics on this season because we all knows as well how the greek freak plays and dominate their opponents in every game.

and IMV seems no one can guard giannis in Celtics even double team because he can really push and still scoring in different situation, so for me i believe this will end up 4-1 again or 2 for boston..

That's too much, lol, at least make it a game 7 so the series will be fun, but yeah, the Bucks will win here despite the fact that they are undermanned, IMO, it doesn't matter as long as Giannis is playing, I still trust them to win.

I honestly don’t have any idea who’s going to take down this series. The Boston Celtics are a very well rounded team as well as are the Milwaukee Bucks, bud I think the difference might simply come down to Giannis. In order to win a championship it really comes down to whether you have a mega star or not, as of course as we all probably are aware of. I will probably put my $ on the Bucks at this point because of the Greek Freak.

This is my prediction only but if the Celtics can make a way to stop Giannis and at the same time, defend the threes then they might win this series in 6 games at least. Giannis can just dominate inside but if he also knows how to dish out the ball to his teammates and the Bucks have multiple three point shooters in their roster. Portis, Allen, Connaughton, Holiday, Middleton and even Lopez.

The Celtics are the best defensive team right now and they are very good in hustle as well. They are lacking in height compare to the Bucks but with their defense, I believe that they can defend Giannis and the Bucks so I will bet on the Celtics in this one. The question though right now is how they can defend if Lopez and Giannis both at the floor at the same time.

[dothebeats]

Huge gap. Juicy odds for Bucks and quite tempting too.possible that the series takes to game 7 with a Bucks win. Just wary of the team's overall health and composure. Giannis can carry the whole team as he has shown previously, and it's not impossible for him to do that again. No one dares to guard him or even follow him around the court to defend, and even the giants of Celtics would surely hesitate.

[rhomelmabini]

Since Milwaukee is the defending champion and they were tied during the regular season standings with the Celtics, I think this is hard than we could imagine. I'm into Boston here considering they are more of the underdog compared to Bucks if we base it on the roster. I mean, we like underdogs that can live up to the expectations and one more thing, Tatum was likely in his zone, he's averaging 29.5 PPG, 4.5 RPG, and 7.3 APG. These stats are just that great.

[Jating]

I like the chances of the Boston Celtics here, here are my thoughts:

1. Jayson Tatum - he has matured already, and not a superstar in his own right. He shows that he can play with the best and can guard them just like what he did with the matchup against KD. So the question is who is going to stop him at the side of the Bucks?

2. Overall I will say that the defense of the Celtics is one of the best in the East together with the Heat. And we all know that defense win games.

3. Jaylen Brown and Marcus Smart - two of the best perimeter defender we have, they can guard Holiday, Grayson Allen, and Pat Connaughton.

[wheelz1200]

Right now if I'm betting the series which I'm not, I'd bet on the Bucks.  Here's why:

1) Greek freak...period no explanation needed
2) Bucks are still the Champs and rolled easy on the bulls
3) those odds.  Getting points on the series for the defending Champs gimme that all day.
4) Bucks can extend the Celtics defense with theor outside shooting better than the Nets did.

[goinmerry]

I was truly surprised and amazed by how the Boston Celtics defeated the Brooklyn Nets without giving a chance for this team to win even once. Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown really improved and the Celtics are a hard team to beat if these two find their rhythm and momentum.

But still, I'm siding with the Milwaukee Bucks here even without Khris Middleton. Giannis and the Bucks are evolving year by year ever since his team was always eliminated from the playoffs before. I'm sure they can handle the Boston Celtics even let's say both Tatum and J. Brown will explode.

The decision on where to bet should come from the bettor's point of view and not from others.

Boston Celtics 1.54
Milwaukee Bucks 2.50

Choose your team and tell me why they should win.

Milwaukee Bucks @ 2.50

They already faced each other in the Semi-Finals and knows their respective capability. I believed Milwaukee Bucks will be able to match the Boston Celtics' current strength even though this team defeated Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving, and the whole Brooklyn Nets.

No one from the Celtics can stop the rampage of Giannis 1v1 unless they will double or triple-team him. That would allow other Bucks players to have an open look at their shooting.

I had bucks to win the whole thing from the time I knew the Lakers were out. With the surprising sweep of kd ki and the rest of the nets, the Celtics have put other teams on notice. Even so, I would of still thought bucks to win. The only thing that puts doubt in my mind now, is Kris Middleton looks in doubt for the duration of the second round. The bucks closer. Giannis is a winner and in my eyes, the second best talented player in the playoffs, after Steph, it will be interesting to see who will guard Gianni's, they most definitely will rotate a lot. I can see smart and Tatum taking him the most. Even though with the height disadvantage, they are crafty defenders. I think who ever wins will be the team that bounces back the best after the second. Celtics still feel like an underdog, but Giannis plays like he's trying to earn his rotation in the squad. I predict a 7 game series, with the bucks clinching it at home.

[harizen]

I've just shared in the NBA thread that Khris Middleton is now officially ruled out to play on their series match up against the Boston Celtics. And it might extend up to the Conference Finals just in case the Bucks will win the series. Might be a good reference to those who are planning to place their bet before Game 1.

With that news, there was no change or any slight movement for their respective odds and still stays at @1.5 and @2.5 for Celtics and Bucks respectively.

Having no Khris Middleton is a major loss but to cheer up those Bucks fans, they are still a threat as long as Giannis will play hard.

[bisdak40]

In that series against the Nets, I underestimated the Celtics too much thinking that Jason Tatum might falter again just like last season but I'm wrong. The Celtics showed their fans that they could play good defense too as it is the defense that could bring them to the Finals.

Without Middleton on the wings, the Bucks will be having a hard time producing points as the Celtics will try to limit the offense of Giannis, hard to do but they were able to do that against KD so I think it would be the Celtics to get the W in this series.

[Maus0728]

If you would based your bet off with the previous matches of this teams, then Bucks has the upper hand as they won 6 games out of their 10 matches. But if you would based off from the current situation, Celtics is indeed having the momentum here as Bucks is down with one of their great players. Even other bettors agrees that Celtics' performance is great and promising now as Jason Tatum and Jaylen Brown are their current carries. I see a Celtics win here in this series.

[Kasabus]

I voted for the Bucks to win the series.

This is not just about the odds on the match, I just like the chances of the Bucks because they are the defending champion, and it's only a 2nd round and they have a chance to beat the Celtics here. With the size of Giannis being unstoppable, that alone for me is already a bonus, yes, Celtics are tough, but Bucks IMO are tougher due to their experience.

[ralle14]

If I have to bet on this series i'd go with the Celtics since they have 4 home games in case it becomes a back and forth series with both sides winning their home games then Celtics have the edge. The Bucks on the other hand are forced to win a game on the road and even without Middleton they still have the firepower to compensate. I expect this one to be a long series but I think the Celtics will be too much to handle for the Bucks given their h2h results this season(it ended 2-2 for both teams winning their home games).
