Players to watch out for in Boston Celtics vs Milwaukee Bucks

  • Giannis Antetokounmpo – Bucks

In the absence of Khris Middleton who is out due to an injury, the whole offensive load will be on Giannis. He will look to dominate the series from the start, as his physicality will be tough to handle for the Celtics.

Tatum is slowly transforming himself into a superstar. He has been playing like a top 5 player for the majority of the season, and he’ll like to continue it against the defending champions.
