Milwaukee Bucks Betting Preview
The Milwaukee Bucks have been in a rut as they’ve lost five of their last seven games overall, but they will be eager to build some momentum after snapping a four-game slide with a 112-102 road win over the Hornets on Wednesday. Damian Lillard led the team with 29 points and 12 assists on nine of 18 shooting, Bobby Portis added 23 points with 17 rebounds, five assists, and three blocks while Brook Lopez chipped in with 14 points. As a team, the Bucks shot 50 percent from the field and 18 of 42 from the 3-point line as they took control right away with 38 points in the first quarter to build an early 21-point lead which was more than enough to hold off the Hornets in the second half.Â
Atlanta Hawks Betting Preview
Meanwhile, the Atlanta Hawks have been in a major slump as they’ve lost nine of their last 10 games overall and they will be hoping to bounce back after falling painfully short to the Spurs in a 126-125 loss on Wednesday. Trae Young led the team with 32 points and 12 assists on 10 of 21 shooting, Onyeka Okongwu added 30 points with 12 rebounds and five assists while Dyson Daniels chipped in with 19 points, eight rebounds, and seven assists. As a team, the Hawks shot 52 percent from the field and 16 of 42 from the 3-point line as they showed plenty of fight to claw their way back from an early 20-point deficit, only to see the game slip away when the Spurs’ Victor Wembenyama nailed the game-winning free throw with just 2.2 seconds left on the clock. The Hawks will meet the Wizards after this game.

Milwaukee Bucks vs Atlanta Hawks Prediction
The Bucks could be shorthanded once again as Giannis Antetokounmpo is listed as questionable, while the Hawks are still missing Jalen Johnson and Clint Capela. The Bucks could really do with a win to get their season back on track and you could say the same about the Hawks who are in a season-worst slump. These teams have already met twice this season in Milwaukee and the Hawks were good enough to steal one of those games. This one could go either way, but with the Hawks trading away De’Andre Hunter, I prefer a play on the Bucks who should have too much depth in this spot.
