Milwaukee Bucks vs Boston Celtics Preview
We project Celtics' center Neemias Queta for 11.11 points against the Bucks this afternoon — an excellent 23.2% edge against the market when compared to his points prop at over/under 8.5.
Queta has surpassed 8.5 points in seven of his past 10 games.
However, Queta's points prop has jumped up to 9.5 at some sportsbooks, which he has only cleared in five of his last 10 outings.
Bucks vs Celtics Picks, Betting Predictions
Queta has scored 10.0 points per game this season, while averaging 10.1 in his last 10 contests.
He scored nine points in their only meeting with the Bucks this season back on December 12.
That game was played in Milwaukee, but now the Celtics will host them at TD Garden.
Queta is averaging 10.5 points per game at home this season.
So, let's back Queta to go over 8.5 points against a Bucks side that will not have Giannis Antetokounmpo at center to oppose him this afternoon.
