Randy’s Pick
The Atlanta Hawks didn’t look great in games against the Hornets and Knicks, and now they have to go on the road against this improved Bucks team. The Milwaukee Bucks haven’t played since Thursday, so they’ve had a few days to get comfortable and iron things out defensively. This feels like a spot where the Bucks could have their way on the offensive end and cruise to a double-digit victory at home. I’ll lay the chalk.
