According to the team's game notes, the Bucks are expected to rest Giannis Antetokounmpo, Khris Middleton, Matthew Dellavedova and Tony Snell on Wednesday vs. Boston.
Game notes aren't always reliable and you would think that the Bucks are still interested in stealing the No. 5 seed from Atlanta, but the important takeaway here is that this is an away game and Giannis, Middleton, Delly and Snell are listed as "not with team." We'll keep an eye on this, but it's possible their status could change depending on the results of Atlanta's game on Tuesday. For what it's worth, the projected starters for the Bucks are Malcolm Brogdon, Rashad Vaughn, Michael Beasley, Mirza Teletovic and Thon Maker.

This would be awesome. I guess I'm rooting for Atlanta tonight!

MIL would have to win its last game and ATL would have to lose both of its remaining games for MIL to win the 5th seed. ATL's currently up 19 at home vs CHA who has nothing to play for.

Gotta stay wary of the Bucks. Brogdon could light us up like last time. Maker could decide to randomly shine on us. Beasley could zone in for a night. It's not a trap game, we should win, but it's not inconceivable to lose. Stevens will keep them laser focused, hopefully.

Trap games are not inconceivable to lose either.  If the Bucks sit those 4, then this is the DEFINITION of a trap game.  That team without those 4 would win 8 games in a full season.

They still also have Greg Monroe.

Teletovic is also another guy that can catch fire randomly.

Actually we seem to play more focused away than home ...where they daydream their way though games.   

Home court for Celtics IMO is not necessarily a forgone advantage.
