Celtics vs. Bucks series predictions: Breaking down the second-round matchup

The Boston Celtics and Milwaukee Bucks will meet in the playoffs with a spot in the 2022 Eastern Conference Finals on the line. Jayson Tatum and the Celtics’ stifling defense shut down the Brooklyn Nets in the first round, and Boston completed an impressive four-game sweep over Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving.

Milwaukee, the defending NBA champion, eased past the overmatched Chicago Bulls in just five games, a series that ended with three blowout Bucks victories perhaps presaging the uptick in difficulty Milwaukee will present. The Celtics and Bucks split the regular-season series 2-2, with the home team winning every game.

How with the Celtics-Bucks series play out? Here are our predictions for seven series prop bets ahead of Game 1 on Sunday.
