Bucks at Hawks picks and predictions

Prediction

Bucks 118, Hawks 116

Moneyline

PASS.

The Bucks are the better team and should come out on top, but they aren’t worth a play at a juiced -166. The Hawks are surging and have value as an underdog, but their spread is the better option here.

Against the spread

BET HAWKS +3.5 (-110).

Atlanta is surging, and Murray has been carrying most of the load. The Hawks have won 4 straight at home, 2 of those coming against the Eastern Conference-leading Boston Celtics.

Atlanta has scored at least 120 in 4 straight games and have the offensive firepower to hang with the Bucks, who will be without Lillard, their second-leading scorer. Milwaukee has lost 3 of its last 5 and struggled to cover on the road in March. It is 3-4 ATS on the road in the calendar month.

Considering the trends for both teams and Atlanta’s recent success against quality opponents, back HAWKS +3.5 (-110).

Over/Under

LEAN OVER 223 (-110).

If there’s one thing both teams have in common, it is that they have scored with ease as of late. The Bucks have tallied at least 114 in 6 of their last 7. They are 4-2-1 O/U in that stretch.

Atlanta is 40-33 O/U on the season and has gone Over in 6 straight games. It has scored at least 115 in its last 5 and has allowed at least 118 in 4 of its last 6.

LEAN OVER 223 (-110).

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.

Milwaukee Bucks at Atlanta Hawks odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Monday’s Milwaukee Bucks at Atlanta Hawks odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Milwaukee Bucks (27-18) visit Phillips Arena Monday to take on the Atlanta Hawks (17-25) in a Martin Luther King Day matchup. Tip-off is scheduled for 6 p.m. ET. Below, we look at the Bucks vs. Hawks odds and lines, and make our expert NBA picks, predictions and bets.

After a rough start to the season, the Bucks have been playing quality basketball as of late. However, they have lost three of their last four, including two straight to the Charlotte Hornets.

The Bucks are 5-5 against the spread (ATS) over their last 10 games. Led by two-time MVP PF Giannis Antetokounmpo, the Bucks will draw an injured Hawks side down starting C Clint Capela.

The Hawks have been extremely disappointing this season after an Eastern Conference Finals berth last season. They’re a pitiful 15-27 ATS and sit 12th in the East. Atlanta is led by PG Trae Young, who averages 27.6 point per game.

Bucks at Hawks odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Bucks 116, Hawks 110

Money line

PASS.

Atlanta is talented enough to not play Milwaukee’s -210 money line.

Against the spread

BET THE BUCKS -5.5 (-105).

The Bucks have a deeper side. Without C Brook Lopez (out indefinitely following December back surgery) and Holiday, they can supplement C Bobby Portis and SG Donte DiVincenzo.

The Hawks, on the other hand, haven’t played well without Capela in the lineup. He’s missed Atlanta’s last four games, all losses. The Hawks have covered just twice in their last 10 games. Despite Young’s heroics, they’ve fallen short far too many times.

The Bucks have two bona fide stars and a plethora of shooters. They’re one of the few teams that rank top 10 in both offensive and defensive rating. I’d bet on that.

Over/Under

LEAN to the UNDER 229.5 (-115).

While the Hawks are 22-20 O/U, the Bucks have been either limiting teams scoring or failing to score themselves.

Despite a 2-3 record, Milwaukee has cashed five consecutive Unders. With the Hawks sitting 19th in the league in pace and the Bucks having two elite defenders, I’d side with fewer points in this one.

Milwaukee Bucks at Atlanta Hawks odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Milwaukee Bucks at Atlanta Hawks odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Milwaukee Bucks (6-7) visit the Atlanta Hawks (4-9) Sunday for a 6 p.m. ET tip. Below, we look at the Bucks at Hawks odds and lines, and make our expert NBA picks, predictions and bets.

The Bucks have disappointed so far this season. The reigning champs haven’t had PG Jrue Holiday, C Brook Lopez and SF Khris Middleton for most games with Holiday recently returning.

Much has been asked of two-time MVP PF Giannis Antetokounmpo. He’ll again need to be great for the Bucks to avoid a two-game losing streak. They’ve lost three of their last five.

As for the Hawks, a team with high preseason expectations, they’ve also struggled. PG Trae Young hasn’t acclimated to the new league-wide change on what a natural shooting foul is.

They’ve lost six straight and eight of their last nine.

Bucks at Hawks odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Bucks 112, Hawks 107

Money line

BET BUCKS (+100) as these teams know each other well, and I’m going with the team with the two-time MVP. Without Hunter, the Hawks will be short a capable defender.

Atlanta is also extremely cold. It was throttled several times in its road trip, and it’s been a pitiful showing. The Hawks have the 28th-worst defensive rating and the 21st-worst true shooting percentage.

They just haven’t played well, and against a former All-NBA defender in Holiday, they’ll again struggle. The Bucks are the opposite. They’re starting to heat up with Holiday back in the lineup.

Milwaukee ranks third in offensive rating over its last three. The Bucks are the more complete team with shooters all over the court. Despite their injuries, they should win this game.

Against the spread

PASS. Not many games end with a one-point difference. Regardless of who you think will win, I’d hang it to the money line either way.

Over/Under

“LEAN” to the UNDER 220.5 (-107) as both teams rank outside the top half of the league in true shooting percentage. With Milwaukee’s G/F Pat Connaughton and SG Grayson Allen playing large roles, if they aren’t hitting shots, the Bucks may not get many on the board.

At the same time, Hunter is a solid offensive option for Atlanta. With Young having struggled this season, having Holiday on him won’t make this an easy one.

Considering the defenders on the court and that Milwaukee is down two of its top four scoring threats, I’m “leaning” the UNDER 220.5 (-107), but just for a small unit.

Milwaukee Bucks at Atlanta Hawks Game 6 odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Saturday’s Milwaukee Bucks at Atlanta Hawks Game 6 NBA odds and lines, with basketball picks, tips and predictions.

The Milwaukee Bucks travel to meet the Atlanta Hawks Saturday in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Finals at State Farm Arena. Tip-off is scheduled for 8:30 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze the Bucks vs. Hawks odds and lines, with NBA picks and predictions.

Milwaukee pushed Atlanta to the brink of elimination with a 123-112 win in Game 5 at Fiserv Forum even with superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo sidelined with a hyperextended knee.

The Hawks have their backs to the wall heading into this elimination game. They’re 4-3 SU/ATS in seven home games so far this postseason, including 1-1 SU/ATS in this series.

Bucks at Hawks: Odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Hawks 113, Bucks 106

Money line (ML)

The HAWKS (-145) are up against it tonight and they’ll be able to force a Game 7. It’s especially helpful that Giannis is doubtful for the Bucks, although it sounds like there is a chance he comes back for a Game 7. Atlanta will force that decisive game back in Milwaukee with a win here.

Play our new free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Against the spread (ATS)

The HAWKS -2.5 (-110) spanked the Bucks last time they had a home game, winning 110-88 as 8.5-point underdogs. They catch a break with Milwaukee’s best player in street clothes and it would be even nicer for them if Young is able to suit up. Roll the dice on the Hawks regardless of Young’s health as Atlanta has surprised throughout these playoffs.

Over/Under (O/U)

OVER 216.5 (-110) is the lean here even with Giannis doubtful. Atlanta has averaged 111.0 PPG across the last two games, and they coughed up 123 points to the NBA’s No. 1 scoring team in Game 5. The Bucks proved they have plenty of offensive weapons even if Antetokounmpo isn’t with them. The Over is worth a small-unit wager.

WATCH: Milwaukee Bucks at Atlanta Hawks Game 4 betting preview

The Milwaukee Bucks try to put the Atlanta Hawks on the brink of elimination in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals Tuesday. Tip-off at State Farm Arena. Let’s dive into the Bucks-Hawks Game 4 matchup.

The Bucks hold a 2-1 series lead after Games 2 and 3 by scores of 125-91 and 113-102, respectively. Hawks PG Trae Young (ankle) is questionable for Game 4 after sustaining an ankle injury in Game 3 when awkwardly stepping on a referee. He underwent an MRI Monday that revealed a bone bruise in his right foot.

Bucks PF Giannis Antetokoumpo and SF Khris Middleton keyed the Game 3 comeback with 33 and 38 points, respectively. Milwaukee outscored Atlanta 30-17 in the fourth quarter.

Milwaukee Bucks at Atlanta Hawks odds, picks and prediction

Previewing Sunday’s Milwaukee Bucks at Atlanta Hawks NBA odds and lines, with basketball picks, tips and predictions.

The Atlanta Hawks (33-27) host the Milwaukee Bucks (37-22) Sunday at the State Farm Arena for a 7:30 p.m. ET tip-off. Below, we analyze the Bucks-Hawks odds and lines, with NBA picks and predictions.

Milwaukee just swept and covered against the Philadelphia 76ers in a two-game miniseries Thursday and yesterday.

The Bucks have won five of their past seven games (5-2 ATS) and are just 2 games back in the loss column of the first-place Brooklyn Nets in the East.

A banged-up Atlanta routed the Miami Heat 118-103 Friday to win its third time in the past four games and six in the last eight (6-2 ATS).

The Hawks’ loss to the New York Knicks Wednesday gave the Knicks the tiebreaker making them the 4-seed and Atlanta the 5-seed even though both of the same records as of Sunday.

The Bucks have beaten the Hawks by double digits in both of their first two meetings this season.

Bucks at Hawks: Odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Bucks 123, Hawks 108

Money line (ML)

PASS since Milwaukee is the right side, but the Bucks (-250) is too rich for my blood, especially considering a Trae Young-less Atlanta team stomped a surging Miami side in its previous game.

Play our new free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Against the spread (ATS)

BET BUCKS -6 (-110) for 1 unit because both Capela and Young missed Milwaukee’s 129-115 win against Atlanta Jan. 24.

In this Bucks-Hawks game, Hunter scored a team-high 33 points but is out with injury for this meeting, and Atlanta only grabbed five offensive boards when it averages 10.7 offensive rebounds per game.

Capela is a big reason Atlanta is third in offensive rebounding rate, and Milwaukee is third in defensive rebounding rate so his absence should be a major factor in this game.

Milwaukee is 14th in second-chance points allowed per game, and Atlanta is fourth in second-chance points per game, but that edge is dulled if Capela cannot play tonight.

Furthermore, the Bucks probably won’t look past an injury-depleted Hawks team since they are chasing the Nets for home-court advantage throughout the playoffs.

Over/Under (O/U)

The Bucks have the second-highest offensive rating in the Association over the past seven games and have gone Over the total in four of their last five.

Even if today’s Bucks-Hawks game gets into garbage time, Milwaukee can still extend its margin over Atlanta.

For instance, the Bucks put up 46 points in the fourth of their victory over the Sixers Friday with SG Donte DiVincenzo being the only starter that played in that quarter and he only was in for 1:03 minutes.

Slight “LEAN” to the OVER 226.5 (-110) for a quarter unit.
