Hawks vs Bucks Prediction

The Atlanta Hawks are back in one of these weird funks where they can't win games and the defense doesn't want to show up. The Hawks are also 5-13 ATS on the season, so they're a team you shouldn't be looking to back regardless. The Milwaukee Bucks have defensive issues of their own, but they still find ways to win games, and the talent is there to blow the doors off subpar clubs at home. I'll lay the points with the Bucks, given the Hawk's horrible current form.
