Celtics vs. Bucks NBA Playoffs Game 6 Odds, Lines, Picks & Predictions

Check out our Boston Celtics vs. Milwaukee Bucks betting picks and odds for the NBA Eastern Conference Playoffs Second Round Game 6 that will take place in Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee, WI, on May 13, 2022.

The NBA Playoffs series between the Milwaukee Bucks and the Boston Celtics have seen both teams being in the driver’s seat. At the moment, the Milwaukee Bucks is the team that has the lead and the defending champions are one step away from advancing to the Eastern Conference Finals.

The Boston Celtics came back from the dead to steal Game 4 and then had a chance to take the lead before the series moves back to Milwaukee. The C’s were the better team for most of Game 5 but the Bucks got back in the final quarter which will probably be the moment of the entire series. Milwaukee showed its championship-caliber in the key moments of the game. Bobby Portis Jr. scored after an offensive rebound in the final minute and Jrue Holiday made two excellent defensive plays on Marcus Smart to seal the deal for the Bucks.

Giannis Antetokounmpo was unstoppable as usual scoring 40 points and 11 rebounds on 16-of-27 shooting from the field. Jayson Tatum kept the pace scoring 34 points but the Celtics star made only two of his 11 shots from the three-point territory.

Now the series is going back to Milwaukee where the defending champions will have a “match-point” in the series against the Celtics.

Boston Celtics vs. Milwaukee Bucks Game 6 Prediction

Milwaukee Bucks -1.5 points

This series has been anything but predictable as 3 of the 5 games so far have been won by the visiting team and in 2 of them, we have seen major comebacks. The Bucks are definitely the more experienced team and they have played more games like this than the Celtics. The Bucks also have the momentum and the home-court advantage in the game that may be the last one in this series. Boston has been good all series long except for the opening game and they will certainly go hard and have many reasons to believe that will be able to win in Milwaukee and send the series back to Bean Town for the decisive Game 7. However, Giannis Antetokounmpo has been brilliant in this series scoring at least 40 points in two of the five games. The Greek Freek is simply on another level than any other player and he will take his team to a victory once again. If the Bucks start strong as they often do, this may be a blowout victory for the home team.

Over 211 points

The first three games of the series have finished under the over/under margin with the first two being more than 20 points under. The last two have seen more points as the fight has intensified. Game 6 will bring even more pressure and many players will see this opportunity to shine with the whole world watching. The Bucks are the third-best scoring team in the league and they will score a lot against Boston despite the fact that the Celtics allow the lowest shooting percentage in the league. Boston will have to push put the pace which will lead to faster possessions and more points than usual which will be enough for this game to go over 211 points.

Player Prop Pick

Jayson Tatum over 29.5 points

This is a do-or-die game for the Boston Celtics and there is no way they can stand a chance to win in Milwaukee unless their top scorer Jayson Tatum goes hot. Tatum has been on and off during the playoffs which is normal for a player who is still only 24-years-old.  However, Tatum is showing a high level of maturity and he has established himself as a Top 10 player in the league this season. No matter if the Celtics finish their season tonight, Tatum is on his way to becoming one of the elite superstars in this game. So, players of that caliber are capable of doing big things and Tatum will try to do exactly that when they visit Milwaukee on Friday night. Tatum is coming off a 34-point performance with poor three-point shooting. He will definitely leave everything he has on the court in order to try to get his team to the victory and in that way, he will most likely score at least 30 points.
