The Milwaukee Bucks and the Boston Celtics are going at each other in the Eastern Conference Semifinals. This series will be one to watch as Jayson Tatum who just competed with one of the most skilled duos, will take on the Greek Freak. Not only that, but this will be a rematch of the 2019 East semis, when the Bucks won against the Celtics, 4-1.

The Celtics showed up big time in round one. Though no one was expecting such a quick series, the Nets were favored. Whereas the Bucks come into the series after a quick first round, beating the Bulls, 4-1. With the first game in the balance between the two, Jaylen Brown produced a moment of magic.
