The problem is the Bucks are missing some of the obvious plays they could have had to make the game a lot more competitive than what it was in the opening round, but also the Bucks are going to have to try to figure out how to improve their scoring chances overall.

Free Betting Pick: Boston Celtics +7
After the Celtics were able to dominate the first game, the Bucks are going to make some major changes to their schemes and attempt to level the playing game. The first step will be shutting down Irving for the Celtics. Look for the Celtics to be able to rely on Irving for the most part, but his production will be curtailed to a point as the Bucks cover him decently in this game and force the minor players to step up, which they are unable to do to the same level as the production slip from Irving. Final Score, Milwaukee Bucks win, but fail to cover ATS 107-104.
