The 5-2 Celtics bring a perfect home record into a matchup with a 1-6 Bucks team allowing 124.1 points per game.
Boston hosts Milwaukee on Wednesday, Nov. 4, at 7:30 p.m. ET, with the 5-2 Celtics aiming to protect their 4-0 home record against a Bucks team sitting 1-6. The power index places Boston ninth and Milwaukee 27th; the Bucks have allowed 124.1 points per game, compared with Boston’s 109.1. Boston’s Jayson Tatum has 189 points and 55 assists in seven games, while Milwaukee’s Tyler Herro leads the Bucks with 153 points and 25 made threes. Whether Tatum plays is uncertain—he is listed as questionable for rest—and Boston’s ability to contain Herro’s perimeter scoring could shape whether the Bucks can keep pace.
