Bucks-Celtics (Series Tied 2-2)

Giannis Antetokounmpo has been under value in the last two games, but there is no guarantee that the guys around him will step up on the road. Meanwhile, I have no doubt about his ability to deliver in Game 5. He’ll be the driving force behind the Bucks offense and he’ll bounce back over value.

Khris Middleton will be his usual steady self.

The rest of the Bucks come with question marks. It’s tough to trust Eric Bledsoe with the way he’s played in this series. The salary isn’t bad and your good point guard options are pretty limited. But proceed with caution. Malcolm Brogdon has the ability to contribute, especially as a starter, but missing value in two home games doesn’t bode well for his value on the road. That said, he did well in Game 1.

Jabari Parker looks to be a valuable piece. We’ll see if his game translates on the road. If John Henson is back, he’s a good option at center if you’re looking to save money. It would mean Thon Maker, who was schemed off the floor in Game 4, becomes less valuable.

The Celtics have been rather steady in this series. You can pretty much count on their starting five to at least hit value. Jaylen Brown remains my personal favorite option. Marcus Morris is a someone I expect to have a bounce back game. He simply plays better at home and those tough shots just fall for him. He’s also a cheaper option than John Henson, should Henson play.
