It might be easier to list who is available for the Boston Celtics in today’s matchup against the Milwaukee Bucks — the C’s Twitter account needed five separate tweets Friday to unveil the full injury report for Saturday’s Eastern Conference clash.
The Bucks, meanwhile, expect tot get Giannis Antetokounmpo back after he cleared health and safety protocols. The reigning Finals MVP has missed the last five games, with Milwaukee going 3-2 over that span.
Is this a classic case of Pros vs. Joes where the wiseguys are buying the underdog at a moderate price? Or is this a smash spot for the Bucks with the Greek Freak back?
Here’s what our PRO Report’s showing for the late-afternoon tip.
Bucks vs. Celtics PRO Report
The public wants nothing to do with Boston’s depleted roster.
The Celtics ruled out eight players Friday due to health and safety protocols; a handful of others are questionable.
Plus, with Antetokounmpo hoping to be back into the fray for a marquee matchup, the scales — at least the ones with stacks of money on them — are tipping in Milwaukee’s favor.
We’ve recorded a whopping 96% of the money on the Bucks as of Saturday morning, with close to 70% of the tickets on the home squad.
Boston’s had no answer for elite teams this season, going just 4-9-1 against the spread in their last 14 game against teams with winning percentages of .600 or better.
It’s apparently now or never for Milwaukee, which hasn’t covered in five straight against Boston
PRO Pick: Bucks -7
