Bucks vs. Celtics has been quite the series so far.

After Boston collapsed at the end of Game 5 and allowed Milwaukee to steal a 3-2 series lead, the Celtics righted the ship in Friday night’s Game 6, forcing a winner-take-all Game 7 on Sunday afternoon.

According to live NBA playoff odds, the Celtics sit as 5-point home favorites against the Bucks, with an over/under of 206.5 for Sunday’s Game 7.

Interestingly, a whopping 72% of bettors have taken Milwaukee and the points as of the time of writing, but is that the smartest way to bet Bucks vs. Celtics?

Using our NBA betting tools and data, let’s answer that very question.

Bucks vs. Celtics Pick


While the majority of NBA bettors are jumping on underdog Milwaukee for today’s game, sharps have been quietly backing the Bucks vs. Celtics under to this point.

This total opened at 209 at DraftKings Sportsbook before wiseguys quickly steamed the under, explaining why this number has dipped to 206.5 across the market (click here for live NBA odds).

Steam refers to sudden, uniform line movement that is often the result of bettors with the resources to move odds getting down on the same wager at multiple sportsbooks, all at once.

And in this instance, the under action was respected enough by oddsmakers to warrant a 2.5-point line adjustment.

As always, be sure to shop for the best line possible before submitting any bet on Sunday’s Bucks vs. Celtics Game 7 showdown.
