I'm on the over of 228 in this matchup of Boston @ Milwaukee for these reasons:

- Milwaukee are 0-5 in their last string of games played, and need this win to avoid dropping lower in the standings. It's possible they could drop all the way down from 2nd seed to the 6th seed if this losing streak continues.

- Boston are oppositely 5-0 but have been putting points on the board in high fashion averaging 116 points per game in that winning streak, and 120+ in the last 10 games played.

- Boston are 8-2 to the over in the last 10 games

- Milwaukee are 6-4 to the over in their last 10, 4-1 to the over vs the last 5 teams with above .500 records.

- This matchup is 4-1 to the over of this number in Milwaukee the last 5 meetings there.
