The Milwaukee Bucks (3-3) visit TD Garden Sunday to take on the Boston Celtics (3-3) in Game 7 of their Eastern Conference semifinal series. Tip-off is set for 3:30 p.m. ET (ABC). Below, we look at the Bucks vs. Celtics odds and lines, and make our expert NBA picks, predictions and bets.

The reigning champion Bucks still have a chance to keep their back-to-back hopes alive. Having battled without their second-best scorer, G Khris Middleton, Milwaukee has struggled offensively in the series.

The Bucks have been led by 2-time MVP F Giannis Antetokounmpo, who is averaging 32.3 points per game and shooting 50% from the field. Milwaukee is 6-10 against the spread (ATS) this season as a road underdog.

The Celtics are captained by star F Jayson Tatum, who has erupted into a full-blown superstar this postseason by averaging 28.8 points per game.

Boston is 3-2-1 ATS this series and 18-24-1 ATS as a home favorite this season. The Celtics will be down starting C Robert Williams III, a key blow to defending the lengthy Antetokounmpo.

Prediction

Bucks 108, Celtics 106

Money line

PASS.

I think Milwaukee has the experience and personnel to come out on top, and while the +170 does give good value, I’d rather take the safer side and play the points, especially considering 2 of the 6 games have ended with 4 points.
