The Milwaukee Bucks look to take a 3-1 lead Monday night on the Boston Celtics in Round 2 of the NBA Playoffs.
Bucks-Celtics pregame on WKTY begins at 6 p.m. Tune in on 96.7 FM / 580 AM.
Milwaukee escaped with a 103-101 Game 3 win Saturday, as Boston missed multiple bunnies in the final seconds trying to force overtime.
The Bucks still won’t have shooting guard Khris Middleton until, possibly Game 5 Wednesday. So far, however, Milwaukee hasn’t really needed him, as Giannis Antetokounmpo has — to nobody’s surprise — carried the team. The 27-year-old, who’s averaging 31.3 points this series, is leading the Bucks in points, rebounds and assists.
Antetokounmpo is coming off a 42-point effort Saturday. Still, he’s shooting just 43.3% in the series.
Meanwhile, Milwaukee is doing a number on Boston’s Jayson Tatum, who scored just 10 last outing and is shooting 34.8% this series. The 24-year-old forward was held to 4-of-19 shooting Saturday.
