For the fourth and final time in twenty-five games, the Celtics (13-12) and Milwaukee Bucks (13-11) will go head-to-head, as they wrap up their season series at the TD Garden.
Boston is looking to start some sort of winning streak after defeating the Cleveland Cavaliers 103-91 on Wednesday night.
On the other hand, Milwaukee is looking to take the season series from the Celtics after winning 2 of the first 3 meetings. They are coming off a 98-93 victory over the Indiana Pacers on Tuesday night.
Let's see if the Celtics' luck with the two Jason's in the starting five translates into another victory.
Here's a preview:
Bucks:
Brandon Jennings
Monta Ellis
Marquis Daniels
Luc Mbah a Moute
Larry Sanders
Celtics:
Rajon Rondo
Jason Terry
Paul Pierce
Kevin Garnett
Jason Collins
Keys to the game:
1. Guard play: The key focus with the Bucks is always containing the duo of Brandon Jennings and Monta Ellis. Last time these two teams faced each other, the two guards combined for 30 points on 11-of-30 from the floor. These two represent the only legitimate scoring threats for the Bucks, so stoping them should be a priority for the Celtics defense.
2. Calling on the bench: After back-to-back pathetic performances, the bench needs to step up. They scored 15 points on 6-of-16 from the field on Wednesday, and that was preceded by a 16 point performance in Chicago the night before. The starters are going to need the bench tonight -- and for the rest of the season for that matter -- to carry some of the load offensively.
