The NBA has gifted its fans an Eastern Conference Semifinals rematch.
On Christmas Day, the Bucks will face the Celtics in one of the most highly anticipated games of the 2022-23 season. Giannis Antetokounmpo has once again looked like an MVP candidate, but he has gotten plenty of help. Five other Milwaukee players are averaging at least 10 points per game, and the team defense has been terrific.
Of course, Boston has an MVP candidate of its own in Jayson Tatum. The All-Star forward has taken his game to another level after a disappointing performance in the 2022 NBA Finals. The Celtics are also extremely deep and just recently received a boost with the return of Robert Williams III.
These title contenders met in the second round last season, but this could very well be a preview of the 2023 Eastern Conference Finals.
