However, Jayson Tatum and Kemba Walker both missed the Grizzlies defeat but they&#8217;ll be back for the Bucks matchup. Walker has a good matchup against the Bucks as they have struggled against point guards.<\/p>\n<p>Despite missing Antetokounmpo, the Bucks recorded their 7th straight victory last time on the court as they trashed the Pacers 140-113. Jrue Holiday had arguably his best game as a Buck with 28 points and 14 assists. While Antetokounmpo should be back from a knee injury, Holiday should take good confidence into this matchup, especially with Boston giving up 26.1 points to point guards in the last month.<\/p>\n<p>With Boston struggling to put together a complete 4th quarter performance, we can&#8217;t see them beating the red-hot Bucks. The Celtics have also lost 9 of their last 10 on the road, which is also the same record at this venue.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Stadium Record<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Bucks are 8-1 in their last 9 at home. Boston has a horrible 1-9 record at this venue.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Head to Head Record<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Milwaukee has won 7 of the last 10 meetings.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Best Bet<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bluebet.com.au\/sports\/Basketball\/107\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bucks Win $1.64<\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>Los Angeles Clippers (28-16) at San Antonio Spurs (22-18)<\/h3>\n<p>The Clippers are starting to find their rhythm after back to back wins. Last time out, they successfully rallied from a 15 point deficit at half-time against the red-hot Hawks and they&#8217;ll be looking to continue the momentum onto San Antonio. In terms of injury news, they&#8217;ll still be without Ibaka and Beverley. So Zubac will get the start at centre once again.<\/p>\n<p>San Antonio has lost their last 2 games so they&#8217;ll be keen to get back on track. Despite facing a Hornets team that just lost Ball to a season ending injury, the Spurs went down 100-97. Which continued their struggles at home this season as they&#8217;ve now lost 11 of 21 on their home court. However, they did beat the Clippers this season on the road.<\/p>\n<p>The Under has a good trend with these two teams involved so we&#8217;ll be sticking with a low scoring affair. Overall, the Under is 7-2 in the Spurs last 9 home games and it&#8217;s also 4-2 when they play the Clippers. The Under has also saluted in 6 of the Clippers last 8 road games.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Stadium Record<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Spurs are 10-11 at home this season. Los Angeles holds a 2-4 record at this venue.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Head to Head Record<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In the earlier meeting of the season, the Spurs won on the road 116-113.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Best Bet<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bluebet.com.au\/sports\/Basketball\/107\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Under 220 pts $1.91<\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>Atlanta Hawks (22-21) at Sacramento Kings (18-25)<\/h3>\n<p>The Hawks winning streak of 8 games ended against the Clippers but they should be confident of rebounding against the inconsistent Kings, a team they recently beat by 15 points. On that occasion, Trae Young dominated with 28 points and Clint Capela enjoyed a favourable matchup with 24 points. With John Collins in great form as well, the trio should be the key to another Hawks victory.<\/p>\n<p>Sacramento has won 3 of their last 4 games against the Celtics, Wizards and Cavaliers. However, they&#8217;ll face a much tougher ask against the Hawks, especially with their defence leaking points against point guards and power forwards. In the last month, they&#8217;ve allowed on average 29.5 points per game to point guards and that should see Trae Young put up big numbers.<\/p>\n<p>As mentioned, the Hawks have a nice matchup against the Kings defence and they&#8217;ll be looking to put a disappointing second half display against the Clippers behind them in this matchup.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Stadium Record<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Kings have lost 6 of their last 8 home games. The Hawks are 1-4 at this venue in the last 5 meetings.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Head to Head Record<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Atlanta thrashed the Kings 121-106 in mid-March this season.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Best Bet<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bluebet.com.au\/sports\/Basketball\/107\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Hawks -2.5 $1.85<\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Boston Celtics (21-22) at Milwaukee Bucks (28-14) The Celtics form slump just continues after 4 defeats in their last 5, including a 132-126 OT loss against the Grizzlies last time out.
