The 10-4 Bucks and the 11-3 Celtics square off at TD Garden on Wednesday in what might be a preview of the Eastern Conference Finals.
The NBA’s greatest winning streak was broken Monday night in Queen City by the Boston Celtics, who had won six straight games. With two minutes remaining in regulation, the visitors wasted a nine-point advantage and ended without a point.
They also lost 121-118 to the Charlotte Hornets after failing to hold onto a two-point lead in the last minute of overtime.
After playing four games in a row away from TD Garden, they are now back at home. On Wednesday night, they will welcome the Milwaukee Bucks.
Giannis Antetokounmpo (34), a forward for the Milwaukee Bucks, is dunk by Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum (0).
The Celtics’ injury report is clean ahead of the matchup between the club with the best record in the NBA (11-3) and the third seed in the Eastern Conference, despite the fact that they were without Derrick White and Al Horford (rest) for personal reasons during their loss to Charlotte.
This season, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Damian Lillard, and company had a rough start, but recently, they have improved, dominating lower-tier opponents like the Washington Wizards.
The Bucks are 8-2 in their past ten meetings and have won five straight games. Milwaukee is just one game behind Boston in the East with a record of 10-4.
The Athletic’s Eric Nehm reports that Lillard, who is battling a left oblique strain, is listed as probable for this possible Eastern Conference Finals preview for the visiting team.
Additionally mentioned as probable are MarJon Beauchamp, who has a sprained right ankle, and Chris Livingston,who has a sprained left ankle.
The Celtics and Bucks game on Wednesday night at TD Garden will begin at 7:30 EST.
