Celtics vs Bucks - who will win (and in how many games)?

It is time, once again, to make our series predictions. For the record, looking back to the last round, Drew Doxy was the only one that correctly predicted a Celtics sweep. Who will be the closest in this round?

Celtics in Six - The Celtics will be up against the best team in regular season basketball and the likely MVP, in Giannis Antetokounmpo. By conventional metrics, a 49 win team shouldn’t have much of a shot against juggernaut like the one the bucks have put together. However, the addition of a “finally looking maybe healthy” Gordon Hayward is a reason for optimism and a case could be made that Horford is one of best fits in the league to try to slow down Giannis.
