Conference Semifinals Game 4 Monday May 9, 2022 at 07:30 pm ET
The lines have been fairly close in this series, but the Bucks opening at -1.0 after winning a game they were -2.0 favorites in is interesting. Both teams have rebounded from a loss well, and Game 3 went down to the wire, resulting in a Milwaukee push of the -2.0. It was a controversial call to end the game as Boston guard Marcus Smart claimed he was fouled while in the act of shooting a three-point shot. The ref ruled he was not yet in the shooting motion, and awarded Smart two free throws instead of three. At the time of the call, Boston was down by three points, so you can see why the Celtics and their fans were upset. Not much changes in my handicap of this series. These are probably the two best teams left in the playoffs outside of Phoenix, and I expect the rest of this series to be played very close.
Giannis was able to operate in Game 3 and was able to shake the defensive lockdown pair of Grant and Robert Williams. Giannis dominated down low and put up 42 points on the best defense in the NBA. On the other side, it’s clear why Giannis is a former Defensive Player of the Year and MVP as he kept Jayson Tatum to 10 points on 4 of 19 shooting. Home court advantage has been huge for Milwaukee in recent years, and I think they can take advantage again in Game 4. Grab the -1.0 now before the spread ticks up ahead of tip off. -1.0. Milwaukee Bucks lead the series 2-1.
