Milwaukee Bucks vs Atlanta Hawks Prediction 12-4-24 NBA Picks

The Atlanta Hawks pay a visit to the Milwaukee Bucks at the Fiserv Forum on Wednesday night. Here’s a Milwaukee Bucks vs Atlanta Hawks Prediction. This article will include a Milwaukee Bucks vs Atlanta Hawks Pick.

The Atlanta Hawks are starting to heat up as they are now gunning for a fifth straight victory after routing the depleted Pelicans in a 124-112 home win on Monday. De’Andre Hunter led the team with 22 points off the bench, Jalen Johnson and Dyson Daniels each scored 19 points while Trae Young tallied 12 points with eight rebounds and 15 assists.

As a team, the Hawks shot 51 percent from the field and 10 of 38 from the 3-point line as they got off to a slow start and trailed going into halftime before they dominated the second half by 66-53 to win comfortably and improve to 11-11 on the season. The Hawks will take on the Lakers next.

Meanwhile, the Milwaukee Bucks have been in red-hot form as they’ve won nine of their last 10 games overall and they will be eager to build on their current seven-game win streak after making light work of the Pistons in a 128-107 home win last night. Giannis Antetokounmpo led the team with 28 points, seven rebounds, and eight assists, Damian Lillard added 27 points with five assists while Gary Trent Jr chipped in with 16 points off the bench.

As a team, the Bucks shot 56 percent from the field and a sizzling 23 of 41 from the 3-point line as they caught fire early and never looked in danger after exploding for 42 points in the second quarter to lead by as many as 26 points at one stage.

Why the Milwaukee Bucks will win

• The Bucks have won each of their last nine night games.
• The Hawks have lost seven of their last eight road games against Central Division opponents following a win.
• The Hawks have failed to cover the spread in each of their last four games at Fiserv Forum following a win.
• The home team has covered the spread in each of the Hawks’ last three games.

Total Points Facts

• Seven of the Hawks’ last eight games as underdogs following a home win have gone OVER the total points line.
• Each of the Bucks’ last four games as favorites has gone OVER the total points line.

The Hawks are still slightly shorthanded with Cody Zeller still out due to personal reasons, while the Bucks are still missing Khris Middleton. The Hawks are coming into this contest with plenty of momentum as they’ve won four in a row, but the Bucks are arguably the hottest team in the league after smashing the Pistons last night for their seventh straight win. The Bucks are playing on zero days’ rest which is slightly scary, but I still think they get the win and cover at the short line at home.
