The Celtics and Bucks clash today as the two top teams in the Eastern Conference. However, these teams are situated differently. Boston has locked up the overall number 1 seed in the NBA while the Bucks are fighting off the Magic, the Knicks, and the Cavs for the 2 seed in the East. I expect these teams to approach this game differently. Boston has rested their starters for full games to a degree, but they’ve made dramatic changes to their late game rotations. Over the last three games, Tatum, Brown, White, Porzingis, and Jrue are each averaging fewer than 5 minutes played in the 4Q with Tatum at just 1.3 minutes per game. The leaders in 4Q minutes are Tillman (10.4) and Pritchard (10.0), both solid players but clearly not of the same ilk as their starters. On the flip side, the Bucks need this game after dropping 4 straight. They will either be chasing a lead here if Boston handles business early or they will be trying to secure a win but it should be against the Celtics’ bench no matter what. I expect the Bucks to take care of business to close this game.
