"Celtics favored in NBA title odds as Bucks face turmoil and injuries in playoffs"

The Milwaukee Bucks lost their MVP candidate Giannis Antetokounmpo to a back contusion in Game 1 against the Miami Heat, which they lost by 13 points. While the Bucks may still have enough firepower to take out the Heat in a seven-game series, Antetokounmpo playing through pain for a large stretch could impact the Bucks’ playoff run. The Heat look like a team that will make Milwaukee work in a series far more than the Hawks showed in Game 1 against the Celtics. The Celtics have become favorites ahead of the Bucks after the opening game for both teams.
