The top two teams in the Eastern Conference will go to battle on Valentine's Day with the Milwaukee Bucks (39-17) hosting the Boston Celtics (41-16). The Celtics beat the Bucks, 139-118 as a 5.5-point favorite on Christmas. The Celtics have also won and covered the spread in five straight head to head meetings.
The Boston Celtics have the best record in the NBA and have won four straight games after taking down Memphis 119-109 on Sunday. Jaylen Brown did not play in Sunday's victory, and he will also miss Tuesday's game at Milwaukee. Jayson Tatum dropped 16 points with seven rebounds on Sunday but is doubtful for Tuesday. Leading the victory over Memphis was Derrick White with 23 points, followed by Sam Hauser with 20 points, Al Horford with 16 points, and Robert Williams III with 10 points and 16 boards. Williams III is questionable for Tuesday, and the Celtics will also be without Marcus Smart.
