Bucks vs Celtics Prediction, Projected Score & Pick

Milwaukee Bucks at Boston Celtics · Wed, Nov 4, 2026

HoopVantage's Nov 4, 2026 prediction: Boston Celtics over the Bucks by 9.2 points, a 78% win probability, with a projected final of Bucks 109, Celtics 118 (total 227.2).

The model projects Boston Celtics to win by 9.2 points (78% win probability), projected score BOS 118, MIL 109, total 227.2 (80% range 204–251). The largest driver is player on-court impact (3.8 points toward BOS).

Matchup

Milwaukee Bucks rank 25 of 30 in the HoopVantage power rating (−4.7 points against an average opponent, about 28 projected wins in 2026-27); Boston Celtics rank 5 (+3.5, about 50 wins). On a neutral floor that gap is worth 8.2 points to Boston Celtics; home court, rest, travel and the projected rotations move it to the 9.2-point margin above. A 78% win probability means Boston Celtics should win about 8 of 10 games like this one, so the other side winning is a normal outcome, not an upset of the model.
