Rotation # 571
Celtics +2 over Bucks (push)
The Bucks have Giannis Antetokoumpo, a future hall of fame player, but this is a vulnerable banged-up team. The Celtics are well-coached and a great defense team. Marcus Smart returns today for Boston, making them a more dangerous defensive squad. The betting line says it all. Vegas knows who the better team is. The real question is can the home court keep the Bucks in it? Boston has been great on the road this year and flawless in the playoffs. Take the Celtics.

Rotation # 962
Braves -110 over Brewers (win)
Fried/Burnes
The Brewers have been on a roll while the Braves have struggled and have not played well at home. Milwaukee is on a nice run in May, but their kryptonite is left-handed pitching. Tonight’s game will be a well-pitched battle between two good pitchers. Look for the Braves to grab an early lead and hang on with it to snap their streak. Take the Braves.
