Boston Celtics at Milwaukee Bucks Game 10 preview, Digi Mart USA News (Milwaukee): The Boston Celtics (7-2) visit the Milwaukee Bucks (1-8) on Sunday, November 8, 2026, at 8:00 PM ET at Fiserv Forum. It is Game 10 of the regular season and the Celtics’ fifth road game.
The teams meet for the second of three times this season, after Boston won the first game 109-102 on November 4.
The Celtics are second in the Eastern Conference, trailing only Philadelphia (8-2), while the Pistons sit half a game behind Boston in third place. Boston has won its last two games and its last four against Milwaukee.
The Bucks are 15th in the East and 6.5 games out of first place, with their only win this season coming at home against the Indiana Pacers. Milwaukee is on a five-game losing streak.
The Bucks have overhauled their roster since last season. They traded Giannis Antetokounmpo and Bobby Portis to Miami in exchange for Tyler Herro, Kel’el Ware, Jaime Jaquez, Jr., and Kasparas Jakucionis.
They also acquired Caris LeVert from Detroit, signed Bogoljub Markovic as a free agent, and drafted Braydon Burries 10th overall and Nate Ament 13th overall. Taylor Jenkins replaced Doc Rivers as head coach.
Boston’s starting lineup has been a work in progress, particularly at shooting guard. The source expects Derrick White, Jordan Walsh, Paul George, Jayson Tatum and Neemias Queta to start, while Milwaukee is expected to start Burries, Herro, Jaquez, Kyle Kuzma and Myles Turner.
Devin Carter is off the injury list after scoring 16 points for the Maine Celtics on Friday. Mitchell Robinson is questionable with illness, and Gary Trent, Jr.
is questionable for Milwaukee for the same reason.
Herro is averaging 22.3 points, 5.0 rebounds and 4.6 assists per game, shooting 45.8% from the field and 41.1% from three-point range. He scored 25 points in the first meeting, and the source notes Milwaukee came back from 21 points down at halftime to take the lead in the fourth quarter.
Jaquez is averaging 16.4 points, 6.2 rebounds and 2.8 assists per game. Kuzma is averaging 9.9 points, 6.0 rebounds and 3.0 assists per game, though he is shooting just 28.9% from three.
Defense and rebounding are key factors. Boston ranks fourth in defensive rating at 106.4, while Milwaukee ranks 27th at 118.6.
The Bucks attempt 44.1 three-pointers per game, the most in the league, and rank third in rebounds at 49.0 per game, compared with Boston’s 43.9 per game, ranking 14th. Milwaukee also averages 18.2 second-chance points per game, which the source identifies as a concern for Boston.
The source also highlights the Celtics’ travel schedule. After this game, Boston faces Philadelphia and Toronto on the road in back-to-back games, and the source notes Boston has a historically poor record in Milwaukee, going 46-73 there all time.
