After collapsing during the final two minutes of Game 5 on Wednesday, the Boston Celtics will try to keep their NBA championship hopes alive against the Milwaukee Bucks in Friday’s Game 6 showdown.

Trailing Milwaukee, 3-2, in this best-of-seven series, Boston is just a 1.5-point underdog despite being on the road, suggesting the betting market sees this game as essentially a Pick’em spot.

While NBA analysts and fans will heavily focused on the straight-up outcome, pro bettors are quietly taking an under-the-radar position on the Celtics vs. Bucks Game 6 meeting.

Without further ado, let’s examine the wager that’s been a popular landing spot for smart money.

Celtics vs. Bucks Pick


Based on the latest Celtics vs. Bucks odds movement, bettors expect the defenses to show up here. This Game 6 total opened at 212 at FanDuel and wiseguys have clearly taken a liking toward the under.

Sharps have already steamed the under twice to this point, driving the Celtics vs. Bucks total down to a consensus line of 210.5 (click here for live NBA odds).

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

In addition, the Celtics vs. Bucks under has attracted 55% of the money wagered on the total, but on just 46% of the tickets, showing that there is building liability on the under.

While the market has settled at 210.5 in most spots, PointsBet is still at 211, so do yourself a favor and shop around for the best line before getting down on this game.
