Atlanta Hawks vs Milwaukee Bucks Best Bet: Bucks to Keep Rolling

Atlanta Hawks vs Milwaukee Bucks Best Bet: Wednesday, January 11th

A 19W-21L record Hawks team will host the Bucks who are the 3rd seed in the East so far with a record of 26W-14L. This will be somewhat of a replay of an Eastern Conference finals 2 years ago. Both teams know each other very well and we are surely expecting a true banger.

Atlanta Hawks vs Milwaukee Bucks Preview

Thu, Jan 12th 02:00m (UK time)

The Hawks are having a turbulent season. Currently, they are sitting in 9th spot in the East which is very far from their expected position. The Hawks are topping the league in FGM with 43.5 per game and overall their offence has been ranked 11th in the league, accumulating 115.3 points per game.

They have issues with their frontcourt since C. Capela is out with a right calf strain. Their best player, T. Young is usually very good against the Bucks, in his career, his average stats against the Bucks are 32 PPG and 8 APG. We believe he will produce something similar tonight but the discrepancy in overall qualities of the rosters is too high in our opinion.

Milwaukee is battling its way to the top seeds of the Eastern conference where they have been ruling for years now. G. Antetokounmpo is in MVP form, averaging 31.5 PPG 12 boards and 5.5 dishes per game whilst shooting a respectful 51% from the field. The Bucks have depth of the roster on their side. J. Holiday is in very good shape recently and he will be a defensive force to stop T. Young from pushing the Hawks.

For tonight’s game, the Bucks will not be facing any injury issues whatsoever. We expect them to force fast transitional play and secure the rebounds since they are the best rebounding team in the league with almost 50 rebounds per game.

The Hawks are not famous for being a very good home team, at the moment their home record is 11W 8L, quality teams like Milwaukee have been able to trouble them and we expect nothing less tonight. We are taking the Bucks to overcome the spread and potentially continue their way to the top of the Eastern Conference standings.
