Prior to the season, the Milwaukee Bucks and Boston Celtics were tipped as potential rivals for Eastern Conference supremacy. A pair of early season showdowns have already gone Boston’s way with the Nov. 10th home defeat representing the nadir of Milwaukee’s season, dropping them to 2-8. Since, the Bucks have climbed back into the East playoff picture with a 9-2 run and look to set a new tone tonight with Khris Middleton’s season debut.

Milwaukee had managed to win seven straight and, if it weren’t for a LaMelo Ball phantom foul call, could conceivably have won 10 in a row heading into Wednesday’s tilt against the Atlanta Hawks.
