Bucks Seek Streak-Breaking Win Against Celtics

Boston visits Milwaukee on Sunday as the Celtics look to extend their winning streak and the Bucks try to end a five-game slide. Boston won the teams’ first meeting 109-102 after Milwaukee erased a 22-point deficit and briefly took the lead, but the Bucks’ late-game turnovers, missed shots and defensive struggles have continued to undermine them. Jayson Tatum, who sat out the first matchup, is expected back after a strong performance at both ends against Charlotte, while Celtics center Mitchell Robinson is questionable with an illness. Milwaukee is adjusting to a revamped roster following Giannis Antetokounmpo’s trade to Miami; Tyler Herro has provided scoring, but the team has struggled to close games. Boston is a heavy betting favorite.
