The NBA’s Christmas Day action keeps rolling in the afternoon with one of the best matchups you could possibly craft: A rematch of the Eastern Conference semifinals between the Boston Celtics and Milwaukee Bucks.
Boston and Milwaukee are two of, if not the best teams in the NBA at the moment, with 23-10 and 22-10 records respectively, and the pair will be looking for a key win to take into the new year.
Khris Middleton is likely out for the Bucks in this game, just as he was in the playoffs last year, while Marcus Smart is questionable. Reports indicate that the guard will likely play for Boston.
