BOS vs MIL Dream11 Prediction NBA Live Boston Celtics vs Milwaukee Bucks

BOS vs MIL Dream11: Hi NBA Fans! The Second Round of the Playoffs brings us closer to the title series. And after 30 teams entered the Regular Season we saw ten of these exit at the beginning of the Play-in tournament. Then there were 16 teams and as of now, only eight teams have remained. And two of those teams will clash in the East Semis as the Boston Celtics will welcome the Milwaukee Bucks.

The Celtics defeated the Nets four-nil in the First Round as they shut down Durant and Irving, while the balanced scoring of the Celtics also saw them through in difficult phases. They will now have to contend against Giannis. On the other hand, the Bucks made short work of the Bulls after losing Game 2 and closed out the series four-one. Giannis continued to raid the opposition’s paint while Grayson Allen had some strong shooting nights to see the team through.

Host: Boston Celtics
Visitors: Milwaukee Bucks
Match Timing: 1 May, @ 10:30 PM (+05:30 UTC)
Venue: TD Center

Giannis will have to fend off multiple bodies

The Celtics are amazing at playing switch defense and the main reason for that every player in their main five can play elite defense while being highly physical and hustling it out. The Celtics have both size and athleticism to counter Giannis but he knows how to get it done even against great length. The presence of Giannis will draw double/triple teams which will open up shooting lanes for players like Jrue Holiday, Pat Connaughton, Grayson Allen, and Wes Matthews.

The Celtics will also have to contend against the size of Lopez and the rebounding threat of Portis, two strong inside players who can be a factor on both ends. Not having Middleton can hurt the balance a bit for the Bucks though. Al Horford has done well against physical players and if Robert Williams III is in full flow, he will be vital in keeping Portis off the boards. It will be interesting how coach Udoka approaches his rotation with Theis and Williams probably coming off the bench.

The guard rotation of Brown and Smart adds a great flavor alongside high-volume shooter Tatum. Brown can get isolation points too while Smart can also be an effective scorer. The Celtics will be highly reliant upon the trio of Tatum, Brown, and Smart on both ends. This series has the feeling of being a bit on the low-scoring side considering how Giannis is the two-way factor alongside defensive threats like Holiday, Lopez, and Matthews while the Celtics were the best defensive unit after All-Star Break.

Fantasy-related tips

Giannis remains the most dependable fantasy option especially as an ace while Portis has emerged as a great option too due to his high-yielding rebounding. Grayson Allen raised his stocks in the last series but I doubt that the Celtics will allow him to score a lot of points. On the other hand, the Celtics have Jayson Tatum who is perhaps the most dependable fantasy pick while Brown and Smart bring a lot of value. On the other hand, Al Horford can be an all-around option while off the bench, Grant Williams looks more dependable than Derrick White these days.
