  • Opening Money-Line: Bucks -180
  • Opening Total: 243
  • Time: 7:30 p.m. ET

The Celtics rallied to shock the Timberwolves in overtime, 127-120 on Wednesday in a battle of the teams with the best records in the NBA.

Boston heads to Milwaukee with no rest tonight to face a Bucks' team that is in the midst of a 1-4 SU and 0-5 ATS slump. Milwaukee's latest loss came in Tuesday's 132-116 setback to Utah as the Jazz jumped out to a 31-point halftime lead.

The Bucks hope to get guard Damian Lillard back in the lineup tonight after missing the Utah game. Milwaukee has failed to cover four straight home games, but all came as a favorite of eight points or higher.

The Celtics are listed as an underdog for only the second time this season, as they blew out Sacramento without Jayson Tatum in a 144-119 rout last month.

Boston held off Milwaukee in the first meeting this season at TD Garden, 119-116 as six-point favorites. That marked the fifth win in the last six meetings for the Celtics, while the underdog has covered in the past three matchups.

PHO @ LAL Odds

  • Opening Point-Spread: Lakers -1.5
  • Opening Money-Line: Lakers -120
  • Opening Total: 237
  • Time: 10:00 p.m. ET

The Lakers look to continue their dominance of the Suns this season as they meet in southern California tonight.

Los Angeles has beaten Phoenix three times in the last three months, each by five points or fewer. The Suns have not had the trio of Kevin Durant, Devin Booker, and Bradley Beal play in any of the three matchups with L.A. this season, but all three are expected to be on the floor tonight.

Phoenix remains in Los Angeles after getting blown out by the Clippers on Monday, 138-111 as 5.5-point underdogs. The Suns trailed by seven points going into the fourth quarter before getting outscored 37-20 in the final 12 minutes.

The Lakers are coming off back-to-back wins over the Clippers and Raptors, but L.A. owns a 1-4 ATS mark in the past five games.
