Celtics vs. Bucks: Boston gets its first shot at the Giannis Antetokounmpo-Damian Lillard duo

Milwaukee, meanwhile, has taken flight. The Bucks (10-4) are riding a five-game winning streak after a bumpy start. Giannis Antetokounmpo exploded for 42 points — and made 20 of 23 shots — in Monday’s 142-129 victory against the Wizards. Damian Lillard is averaging 24.6 points per game, albeit on inefficient shooting splits, with his new team after being acquired from the Trail Blazers in a bombshell trade.

Jrue Holiday was part of that deal before Portland then sent him to Boston. The game will be a reunion of sorts after Holiday helped the Bucks win the 2021 NBA Finals.

Stat of the day: Antetokounmpo and Lillard are one of two NBA duos with both players averaging at least 24 points per game; 76ers stars Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey are the other.

Notes: Lillard is dealing with an oblique injury but is listed as probable entering Wednesday. Former Celtic Jae Crowder will not play, as he is out for several weeks following surgery to repair a left adductor and abdominal injury. MarJon Beauchamp (ankle) and Chris Livingston (ankle) are also probable for the Bucks. … As of Wednesday morning, the Celtics had not specified if Derrick White (personal reasons) would be available after he missed the Hornets game. Joe Mazzulla seemed uncertain on if White would be available when he spoke Monday. … Malik Beasley was one of Milwaukee’s quieter offseason additions, but he is a player to watch. The 26-year-old shooting guard has started every game so far and is averaging 11.1 points per game with a blistering 46.9 percent 3-point clip.
