The Boston Celtics have done extremely well to finish as the No. 2 seed in the East considering the amount of injuries they've battled throughout the season. A lot of credit must be given to coach Brad Stevens as they're one of the best coached sides in the NBA, and I'm sure Stevens has set up a plan how to handle Giannis Antetokounmpo as stopping him = stopping the Bucks.

The Celtics closed out the season on a solid 14-6 ATS run, and I don't think the break between the regular season and the playoffs will affect them negatively (4-1 ATS in their last 5 games playing on three or more days rest). The Bucks on the other hand are 3-9-1 ATS in their last 13 games playing on three or more days rest.

8* play on Boston Celtics.
