MILWAUKEE BUCKS

The Bucks are on fire right now, they have won their last 5 games and the offense is hotter than ever. They detroyed the OKC Thunder 142-115 last night.  Giannis Antetokounmpo scored 39 points. Khris Middleton had 25 points and nine assists, and Bobby Portis added 18 points and 14 rebounds for the Bucks, who scored a season-high point total and shot 53% (53 for 100) from the field.

BETTING TRENDS

Atlanta are 2-4 ATS in their last 6 games.

Atlanta are 1-7 ATS in their last 8 games on the road.

Milwaukee are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games.

The total has gone OVER in 6 of Milwaukee's last 7 games at home.

Prediction

This is definitely not a good time to step in front the Bucks and even less at their home court. The Hawks have won the last 2 head to head but were played in Atlanta and the Hawks are 1-9 in their last 10 games when playing on the road against Milwaukee. The play here is Bucks.
