The Atlanta Hawks are on fire, and the team from Georgia still holds on to the tenth place in the East. Milwaukee Bucks are currently second, but their place might be endangered if they fail to win this event. Knicks and the Cavs are nearby, so Giannis and Dame need to be 100% focused on this one.
Milwaukee Bucks News
We are going to be straight with all of you. When Lillard came to Wisconsin, we didn’t have high expectations. As time goes by, the Bucks are showing signs of vulnerability, particularly on the road, where they have a negative record this season, 17-19. Their current form is mediocre with five wins and defeats in the last ten events, with them scoring 117 and allowing 116.1 points.
Milwaukee suffered back-to-back failures in the latest two events. The first was at home against the Lakers, 128-124, following overtime, and the next one was in New Orleans versus the Pelicans, 107-100. All this shows they aren’t in great shape.
Atlanta Hawks News
Atlanta has four wins in a row, two of them against the Celtics, who were their latest victims, the Hornets and the Trail Blazers. After coming back from a 30-point deficit to beat the Cs, the Hawks once again defeated the conference rivals, this time 123-122 in a match that saw overtime.
The team is without Trae Young, yet that isn’t a problem because Dejuonte Murray plays like a possessed player. He had 44 points against the Celtics, with seven boards and seven assists. Bogdan Bogdanovic scored 24, having made some big-time shots. DeAndre Hunter added 21.
Milwaukee Bucks vs. Atlanta Hawks Betting Tip
Again, the hosts are not the favorites. Despite playing at home, being in good form, and having an opponent who isn’t in particularly great shape, the bookies don’t believe in Atlanta, who is a 7-point underdog. Our money here is on the hosts to defend the offered spread.
