Okay, how exactly can the odds makers think that the Celtics should come in as 4.5 point favorites? I mean seriously I have no idea why the oddsmakers are putting that mark down. I see the Bucks continuing to play good in this game and rely on their better experience in the playoffs compared to Boston. That experience will allow the Bucks to win this game or at least cover the spread, but still neither team is able to play good offensively in this game as the total goes under.
