Former NBA champions Milwaukee Bucks and the Boston Celtics are set to face off in a top-of-the-table clash in the Eastern Conference on Tuesday at Fiserv Forum, Milwaukee.

In what has been a ding-dong battle between the two teams all season for the top spot in the conference the Bucks who are second in the standings on 39 wins will be seeking to close the gap on top seed Celtics-41 wins.

The Bucks who’ve been nipping at the heels of the Celtics for the last month will start as favorites as they enter the game with conference-best 10 consecutive wins from their last 10 played.

They however will have to prove themselves worthy of that victory as the 2022 NBA finalist Celtics have also rediscovered a return to form taking their last four wins to maintain the top rank.

 A rank that they’ve held longer than any other team this season, and will be keen on retaining following the game.

Tip-off time is set for 7:30 m
