Here’s the schedule for the Celtics’ first-round series against the Bucks
After 82 games and an overtime, the Eastern Conference playoff field is finally set. The Boston Celtics will take on the Milwaukee Bucks in the first round for the right to face the Philadelphia 76ers or the Miami Heat in round two.
Bucks’ star Giannis Antetokounmpo averaged 33.5 points per game in the four meetings between the two teams this season, including a 40-point showing in December as the Bucks (44-38) fell 111-100 in Boston. The season series is tied at two games apiece.
The Celtics (55-27) enter the playoffs as the No. 2 seed in the East. Gordon Hayward, Kyrie Irving and Daniel Theis are done for the season, but Marcus Smart may be cleared to return to the court by Apr. 27.
