3 Studs, 3 duds from Milwaukee Bucks' huge win over the Boston Celtics

Stud - Patrick Beverley

Beverley came into the starting lineup and repaid Doc Rivers' faith in him by leading the Bucks with 20 points. That came on 61.5 percent shooting, and he hit four of eight shots from deep along with hustling on the boards to claim 10 rebounds, the most points and rebounds he has had in a Bucks jersey to date.

Defensively, we know what Beverley can bring. Per NBA.com, he held player to 0-of-6 shooting as he brought the tenacity from the start and had a huge impact in his 26 minutes on the floor. Malik Beasley has been in a slump recently shooting wise, and with what Beverley offers defensively, this performance and against the caliber of opponent could see him become the starting two-guard in the playoffs as the Bucks look to utilize his and Damian Lillard's strengths from the start of games.

Since arriving in Milwaukee, Beverley has averaged 5.9 points per game with 3.4 rebounds and 2.3 assists. His shooting splits are down slightly from his 41 percent career average to 38 percent, but Tuesday night, showed that he can still bring it offensively. With Giannis missing time, Beverley's defensive presence is going to be even more integral, and he will have to take the lead with his hustle and energy to galvanize his teammates whilst their superstar is out.

I don't think we can be expecting this performance every night from Beverley, but with him always bringing it defensively, hitting his shots and being helpful on the boards and playmaking, he can be a really useful player in the playoffs.
