The Milwaukee Bucks are now forced to a Game 7 after the Boston Celtics emerged victorious in Game 6, 108-95, and tied the series at three games apiece. Giannis Antetokounmpo's 44-point outing went for naught as the team failed to defend Jayson Tatum who exploded and had 46 points of his own.

With the series on the line, both teams are expected to put out all the stops in order for them to win a do-or-die Game 7 at Boston. With their backs against the wall this time around, Mike Budenholzer's men will try to bounce back and make the necessary adjustments in their bid to survive the series and advance to the next round.

3 bold Bucks predictions for Game 7 vs. Celtics

3. Milwaukee will limit Jayson Tatum to under 30 points in Game 7.

The high-scoring outputs of Jayson Tatum have been the thorn on Milwaukee's side for the past three games. In Game 4, he produced 30 points followed by 34 points scored in Game 5. In Game 6, Tatum came out with his best offensive showing yet with 46 points built on seven three-pointers. He also made four assists and nine rebounds for the Celtics' win.

Despite his momentum as of late, the Bucks have shown that they can limit the point production of the three-time All-Star. In the first three games, Tatum struggled as he put up 21 points, 29 points, and 10 points, respectively. This led Milwaukee to gain a 2-1 headstart early in the series.

The Bucks will certainly have to do it again and make sure that Tatum won't get his groove early in Game 7. Guys like Grayson Allen, Pat Connaughton, Jrue Holiday, and Bobby Portis are expected to be all over him in their upcoming contest. If they get to limit him to under 30 points then they will have a huge chance at escaping with a win to advance to the next round.

2. Giannis Antetokounmpo will drop another 40-piece for the Bucks.

The Celtics may have Jayson Tatum but the Bucks certainly have a dangerous weapon on their side named Giannis Antetokounmpo. Similarly, the two-time MVP also had a slow start in the series after just scoring 24 and 28 points in the first two games against Boston.

However, he picked up his pace much earlier than Tatum did as he generated 42 points in Game 3. In Games 4 and 5, Antetokounmpo then notched 34 and 40 points, respectively. His best game of the playoffs thus far came in Game 6 when he finished with a monster performance of 44 points, 20 rebounds, and six assists. Though it led to a loss, it just shows how well Antetokounmpo can deliver in a pivotal game.

Unfortunately, his teammates failed to provide the much-needed support behind him in order for them to secure the victory in Game 6. This time around, Antetokounmpo is expected to have another high-scoring output and reach at least 40 points as he tries to successfully lead his team to the next round.

1. The Bucks will come out on top with a narrow victory and advance to the next round.

Without a doubt, the odds are stacked against the Bucks heading to a do-or-die Game 7. Though they've held the upper hand in the first few games, the final tilt of the series will be played in Boston just when the Celtics are gaining steam. Jayson Tatum, too, is finding his rhythm and playing at a higher level as of late.

With that said, the Bucks will have to make major adjustments from their recent loss and execute their game plan in order to pull off a win in Game 7. It will take a herculean effort from Giannis Antetokounmpo once again. However, his teammates will have to show up and produce better numbers to support him amid the extended absence of Khris Middleton.

Complementary guys like Brook Lopez, Wesley Matthews, Holiday, and Connaughton will play better in a game where their season is on the line. Despite the challenges ahead, Milwaukee is expected to show its championship poise and experience in a bid to come out on top and advance to the next round.
