Milwaukee Bucks Game Preview: Dec. 4 at Boston Celtics

The Milwaukee Bucks head to the TD Garden for their third meeting of the season with the Eastern Conference leading Boston Celtics.

The Milwaukee Bucks enter the week riding a three-game win streak, knowing that if they want to extend it further in the coming days, they’ll have to beat some of the better teams in their conference.

Showing signs of real progress over their last three games, Milwaukee will hope to build on their recent momentum and test the Boston Celtics in the first matchup between the two teams since the Bucks’ acquisition of Eric Bledsoe.

With a record of 8-2 from their last 10 games, that prospect is unlikely to daunt the Celtics. In spite of losing Gordon Hayward just minutes into their season opener, Boston has the best record in the entire NBA and currently find themselves 3.5 games ahead of Cleveland for first place in the East.
