Bucks vs Hawks Prediction
The Hawks are still missing Asa Newell, Keshon Gilbert, and Kingston Flemings, while the Bucks have ruled out Ousmane Dieng.
The Hawks will be itching to get back on the court after losing in overtime to the slumping Bulls in their last outing, and I don’t think they will make the same mistakes against this ice-cold Bucks squad that can’t buy a win these days. The Hawks are clear favorites in my opinion, and I think this is an ideal bounce-back opportunity against a struggling Bucks squad, so I will take the Hawks to get a much-needed win and cover in this spot.
Atlanta Hawks Betting Preview
The Atlanta Hawks have cooled off from their four-game win streak as they are now on a two-game skid after falling just short to the lowly Bulls in a 125-117 overtime road defeat on Friday. Jalen Johnson led the team with a triple-double of 27 points, 11 rebounds, and 10 assists; CJ McCollum added 20 points and five assists off the bench, while Onyeka Okongwu chipped in with 17 points.
As a team, the Hawks shot 44 percent from the field and eight of 40 from the 3-point line as they worked so hard to tie the score after trailing by 18 points, but they ran out of gas and scored just seven points in the overtime period to spoil what could have been a great comeback victory.
Milwaukee Bucks Betting Preview
Meanwhile, the Milwaukee Bucks have been ice-cold so far as they’ve lost 12 of their first 13 games of the season, and they are now riding a nine-game losing streak after getting stopped by the banged-up Magic in a 107-99 road defeat on Friday. Jaime Jaquez Jr. led the team with 22 points on eight-for-15 shooting off the bench; Tyler Herro added 18 points, while Kyle Kuzma and Myles Turner each scored 14 points.
As a team, the Bucks shot a miserly 39 percent from the field and 17 of 44 from the 3-point line as they got off to another slow start, scoring just 37 points in the first half to fall behind by 20 points, which was always too much to overcome for this struggling squad.
