Joe’s Pick to Cover the Spread

Heading into game 5 of this Eastern Conference series between Milwaukee and Boston, the Celtics are the 5.5 point favorites at home. Boston comes into the contest with all the momentum after stealing a win at the Fiserv Forum. For the second game in a row, the Celtics dominated the 4th quarter, led by a breakout performance from Al Horford. Look for Boston to pick up the win and cover the spread, as, without Khris Middleton, the Bucks are struggling to find scoring outside of Giannis Anteotkounmpo. I like the Celtics -5.5.
