Best NBA Bets Today – Christmas Day
The Bucks and Celtics just might play in the Eastern Conference Finals when it's all said and done, as these are currently the best teams the conference has to offer. However, we just don't see Boston letting this one slip away against Milwaukee on Christmas Day.
Khris Middleton is dealing with knee soreness for the Bucks and it just doesn't seem like he'll be out there for this one – and he'd likely be compromised if he ended up playing. With Middleton out, it's hard to bet on Milwaukee in this game, as Boston is loaded on the wing with players that can get the job done on both ends of the floor.
