The top two teams in the NBA's Eastern Conference — the Celtics and Bucks — meet in a marquee matchup on Tuesday in Boston.
The Celtics have the league’s best record and clinched home-court advantage throughout the playoffs with four games remaining.
Milwaukee leads the Knicks and Magic by one game for the Eastern Conference's No. 2 playoff seed. However, the Bucks are struggling down the stretch and have lost six of their last seven matchups.
Meanwhile, Boston extended its winning streak to five games with a 124-107 victory over the visiting Trail Blazers on Sunday night. Jaylen Brown scored 26 points and eclipsed the 10,000 mark in his NBA career.
The Celtics are being careful with Jayson Tatum, who was held out of the game because of a right knee contusion. Tatum leads the team with 27.0 points per game but Boston has enough depth to absorb his absence in the short-term.
The good news for Milwaukee was that start Giannis Antetokounmpo was back in the lineup and finished with 28 points, 15 rebounds and eight assists in a 122-109 setback to New York on Sunday night. He had missed previous game against the Raptors with a left hamstring injury.
