Boston Celtics team news & key performers
The Celtics emerged from their last outing without any new injuries, but coach Joe Mazzulla might contemplate inserting Payton Pritchard into the starting lineup, possibly at the expense of Jrue Holiday, who struggled offensively, scoring just seven points in 36 minutes against the Pistons.
In terms of injuries, Sam Hauser is currently listed as day-to-day due to a back issue, while Kristaps Porzingis remains the only confirmed absentee as he continues to recover from a foot injury. Jayson Tatum put up another stellar showing on Sunday, where he racked up 37 points, including a crucial six points in the final 65 seconds to seal the win.
Milwaukee Bucks team news & key performers
Andre Jackson Jr. was involved in a car accident after their loss to the Bulls, but reports indicate he escaped unscathed and is likely to be available on Tuesday. Giannis Antetokounmpo is a slight question mark with a knee concern, while AJ Green is day-to-day dealing with a toe problem. Khris Middleton is set to miss several weeks due to an ankle injury.
In their previous match, Antetokounmpo stood out with a dominant 38 points, 11 rebounds, and five assists, while Damian Lillard added 28 points and eight assists in the defeat.

Milwaukee parents sue MPS saying staff member locked students in ‘dungeon’ as punishment
Children at Thurston Woods School in Milwaukee were locked in a boiler room as a punishment, a group of parents say in a recently filed lawsuit.
The lawsuit was filed Dec. 8 in the Milwaukee County Circuit Court’s civil division by three sets of parents. The Milwaukee Board of School Directors is among the defendants.
The parents claim in court papers several employees at the K4-8 elementary school on North 35th Street sent kids to the boiler room if they misbehaved.
Some of those staff members, as well as students, referred to the boiler room as “The Dungeon,” according to the lawsuit.
The lawsuit claims a former male paraprofessional at the school locked three students in a boiler room multiple times during the 2022-’23 and 2023-’24 school years.
In the lawsuit, the parents said the “dungeon” presented a serious hazard to the children because of the potential exposure to “chemicals, cleaning agents, boilers, and other machinery.”
The paraprofessional resigned in November 2023 after he was investigated for violating several school district policies. At the time, he told district officials he placed the students in the room as a scare tactic, the lawsuit states.
Among the defendants is former assistant principal Dennis Daniels.
He pleaded guilty in January to a misdemeanor charge of attempted misconduct in public office after failing to alert police that an 11-year-old student brought a gun to school in February 2024.
He initially was charged with a felony, but brokered a deal with prosecutors to instead plead to an amended lesser charge.
“Milwaukee Public Schools is committed to maintaining safe and welcoming learning environments for all students and staff,” Stephen Davis, an MPS spokesman, said in a statement to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. “While we cannot comment on ongoing litigation, the district thoroughly investigated this matter in 2023 and took appropriate disciplinary action which included termination of employment.”
In a statement, Milwaukee attorney Drew DeVinney, who represents the parents, described the alleged behavior of school staff as “disbursing and egregious,” and that it appeared no one intervened to stop it.
He urged other families to come forward if they also were impacted.
“Concerningly, MPS did not report any of these instances of seclusion and restraint to the Department of Public Instruction, in violation of Wisconsin law.
“We hope that this lawsuit will serve as a vehicle to prevent further incidents and abuse, and to obtain justice for our clients.”

5 takeaways: Horrific second half spells doom for Celtics in Milwaukee
The Celtics have been on a heater recently, and midway through the second quarter against the Bucks on Thursday, it appeared they were going to cruise to a sixth straight win.
That all changed rather quickly as Boston would go on to miss 16 straight threes, losing in rather embarrassing fashion to a Milwaukee team without Giannis Antetokounmpo and who had lost 10 of its last 12.
Here are five takeaways from the loss…
Staying hot
As mentioned above, it wasn’t a night where Boston just didn’t have it — it was actually quite the opposite. The Celtics connected on 10 of their first 17 threes, with Jordan Walsh and Payton Pritchard each hitting a pair to build a 21-8 lead.
Midway through the second quarter, Boston was shooting 56% from the floor and 53% from deep, going up by as many as 14 in the quarter.
That all came crashing down in the blink of an eye.
Walsh’s efficient run continues
Walsh was once again why Boston was finding success on both ends of the floor against the Bucks in the first half.
The 21-year-old forward was perfect from the floor in the first half, connecting on all seven of his shots — including three triples — to score 18. Walsh also snagged three steals as his defensive energy continued to shine.
At the half, Walsh was 27-for-32 in his last five games, good for 82% from the floor. Like the rest of the Celtics, Walsh didn’t do much in the second half, finishing with 20 points on 8-for-10 shooting, but his offensive effectiveness continues to be impressive given where he was even two months ago.
Can’t hold a lead
The Celtics held a double digit lead on three separate occasions on Thursday night, and all three times that lead evaporated in just minutes.
When you have a team like Milwaukee, who have lost 10 of its last 12 and appear to be on the verge of losing one of the best players in the NBA, it isn’t hard to knock them out rather quickly. But each time the Celtics went up, they let go of the rope just enough to give the Bucks — and their half empty arena — some life.
A big part of that was Kyle Kuzma exploding for a season high 31 points. The journeyman forward went toe-to-toe with Jaylen Brown all night, getting the better of the superstar on multiple occasions.
Once that third double-digit lead shrank to nothing, Boston didn’t have enough to muster another one.
Brutal shooting
As is often the story with Joe Mazzulla’s Celtics, once the threes stop going in, the ship usually starts sinking.
That’s exactly what happened in the second half on Thursday night.
Boston missed 16 straight triples, which is good for the fourth longest streak in franchise history. During that cold streak the Bucks went on a 27-8 run en route to blowing out the Celtics.
The worst shooting offender of all was probably Sam Hauser, who missed all 10 of his attempts, seven of those coming from beyond the arc.
After scoring 67 points in the first half, Boston only put up 34 in the second half.
Bobby Portis goes nuclear
When you combine horrific shooting with 30-year-old Bobby Portis pouring in 27 points off the bench, it probably isn’t going to end well for you. Portis scored 18 in the second half, with two corner threes to open the fourth basically being the dagger for the Bucks.
The forward also wasn’t afraid to go after it with Brown, even drawing a technical foul after getting a little too close for comfort.
Portis also grabbed 10 rebounds to finish with a double-double.
