Milwaukee Bucks host their division rivals, the Atlanta Hawks, in a game that is important for both sides. While Giannis and Dame have a chance for the fourth seed in the East, the Hawks are trying to stay in the play-in zone.
Milwaukee Bucks News
Giannis Antetokounmpo ravages the rivals this year, and we think that the two-time NBA MVP is a bit forgotten in all the NBA MVP talks. Giannis averages 30.9 points which is the second-best in the NBA, with 12.1 boards. He is also shooting 60.6% FG.
His Bucks are 7-3 in the past 10 games, and are fourth in the East. However, this team is under huge pressure from its rivals, who are half or one game away from the franchise from Wisconsin.
Atlanta Hawks News
The Hawks are in limbo. They are a playoff contender but also a team in some sort of rebuild. For the moment, Atlanta is 9th in the East, and their goal is to stay in the play-in zone. Reaching No.6 in the conference is a bit tough for them and unrealistic.
Over the last few events, this team’s defense has been terrible. In four of the previous five contests, the Hawks have allowed at least 130 points which is horrible. We know that they don’t play some tough defense, but this is outrageous.
