Batum's tweet said: "Holiday will win the DPOY award at some point, he got to"

The Bucks now can closeout the series in Game 6 in Wisconsin. 

They are coming off winning the NBA Championship last season, which was the first of two-time MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo's career.  

The Celtics came into the series on fire as they had swept Kevin Durant and the Brooklyn Nets in the first-round of the playoffs. 

They finished this season as the second seed in the Eastern Conference, while the Bucks are the third seed. 

The winner of the series will go to the Eastern Conference Finals, and face off with either the Miami Heat or the Philadelphia 76ers.
