The Milwaukee Bucks and the Boston Celtics meet in a potential Eastern Conference preview at 5 p.m. ET on Christmas Day. Boston is favored by 4.5 points at Caesars Sportsbook, while the over/under is set at 225.5 (see up-to-date odds for every game this week on our NBA odds page). 

Before making any Bucks vs. Celtics picks, you NEED to check out the NBA predictions from the SportsLine Projection Model.

The SportsLine Projection Model simulates every NBA game 10,000 times and has returned well over $10,000 in profit for $100 players on its top-rated NBA picks over the past four-plus seasons. The model enters Week 10 of the 2022-23 NBA season on a stunning 28-12 roll on all top-rated NBA picks this season, returning almost $1,400. Anyone following it has seen HUGE returns!

The model knows the Bucks lean on defense. Opponents are shooting only 45.1% from the field against Milwaukee this season, and the Bucks are allowing only 20.5 free throw attempts per game. The Bucks also secure more than 74% of available defensive rebounds after missed shots. The model also knows the Celtics lead the NBA in offensive efficiency, scoring 116.6 points per 100 possessions. Boston is also No. 1 in free throw accuracy (82.8%), with top-10 marks in myriad offensive categories. 

Now, it has set its sights on Bucks vs. Celtics. We can tell you the model is leaning Over the total, and it also says one side of the spread hits in well over 50% of simulations! You ABSOLUTELY need to see it before locking in any NBA picks.
