Bucks at Hawks picks and predictions
Prediction
Bucks 122, Hawks 117
Moneyline
Even though both of these teams have struggled recently, give me F Giannis Antetokounmpo and the BUCKS (-135) to win on Wednesday. The come-from-behind victory over the Knicks on Monday could help the Bucks get back on track.
Against the spread
BUCKS -2.5 (-108) is an enticing bet at the current odds. You would have to go back to the 2013 season to find the last regular-season meeting between the Bucks and the Hawks that was decided by fewer than 3 points.
The Bucks have gone 4-2 ATS in their last 6 games overall. Meanwhile, the Hawks are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games playing on 2 days of rest.
Over/Under
While some trends point toward the Under in this contest, I’ll be siding with OVER 234.5 (-105). Milwaukee and Atlanta are both top 14 teams in pace and the Hawks have allowed 125-plus points in 5 of their last 10 games.
The Bucks have hit the Over in 4 of their last 5 games playing on 1 day of rest. The Hawks are 5-0 to the Over in their last 5 games following an ATS win.
