Boston beat Milwaukee in overtime during the first game, a contest that saw a couple of improbable 3-pointers in the final few seconds. The Celtics went on to win in the extra session and have some momentum coming into this one here.

But the loss of Kyrie Irving and Gordon Hayward is going to take its toll sooner or later. Giannis Antetokounmpo had 35 and 13 in the first game of the series, but he also handed out seven assists. He did all he could, but the Bucks still came up a bit short despite getting 31 from Khris Middleton. Both will have to play well again here tonight if the Bucks are going to have a chance to steal home-court advantage.

The Celtics were very good at home this season and the Bucks struggled on the road. But without their two best players, Boston could get caught here at home.
