2018 NBA Playoffs Preview: Boston Celtics vs Milwaukee Bucks, SWOT Analysis & Prediction

#5 Prediction

Giannis will be the difference between the two teams

As a general rule, the team with the best player has the best chance of winning a playoff series. In this case, the Bucks have an advantage over most teams in the league, since Giannis is right there among the top 10 best players in the world. What's more, he can do it on both ends of the floor.

No team or player can scheme for an athletic specimen of the Greek Freak variety, and his play will be the difference in the upcoming playoff series. The Celtics, holding homecourt advantage, might well be able to steal 2 games, but Giannis will guide the Bucks to a second-round matchup against Philadelphia or Miami.

Bucks beat the Celtics 4-2
