After a disappointing playoff run, the Bucks improved this offseason by adding Jrue Holiday. They’ve also built some nice depth, bringing in Bobby Portis, Bryn Forbes and Torrey Craig. Meanwhile, the Celtics sent Gordon Hayward to Charlotte in a sign-and-trade deal, and Kemba Walker (knee) will be sidelined to start the season. Milwaukee's depth will be the difference-maker in this matchup.

The Celtics don't have Kemba Walker, while the Bucks have reloaded with the addition of Jrue Holiday. He's a major upgrade over Eric Bledsoe and that will be on full display Wednesday night. Lay the points.

My model says the Bucks cover well over 60 percent of the time, so you're getting strong value at this number. Milwaukee was victorious in two of the three meetings last season, winning by five and seven points. Reigning two-time NBA MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo posted a double-double in all three matchups, averaging 30 points and 15.3 rebounds in the season series. Expect more of the same.
