Milwaukee Bucks vs Atlanta Hawks: Guests could surprise

Atlanta lost a completely unnecessary game, and the Bucks just registered 142 points in the last meeting. But for the Hawks, every loss is a problem.

Mike Budenholzer's team has been completely quiet on the season, not allowing themselves to fall out of the play-off zone in the strong East.

Their winning streak since last night's game against Oklahoma have now grown to five games in a row. But the game itself was fairly straightforward. All of the leaders have played less than 30 minutes, so we can't expect the team to be too tired tonight.

Whether the visitors will be able to contain the entire Milwaukee trio that will take to the floor today is a relative question. Therefore, all odds for a sixth win are on the home team's side.

But today they'll have to get in over their heads. In the last game, after losing to Detroit, Atlanta put themselves on the edge again. Washington still have a chance to catch up with Nate McMillan's team.

Hawks have no problem with rotation right now, all players except Kevin Huerter are in the main roster, and Kevin is in day-to-day status. Therefore, the team with the seventh-ranked offense can try, through this very offense, to impose a fight on the reigning league champions.

In the last game, Young scored only 14 points in 39 minutes on the court with a 3/13 shooting percentage. Trey's scoring is very important for Atlanta, and even more so in a game with such a difficult opponent.

Milwaukee take on the Hawks tonight as favourites. This season, two games between the teams ended in wins for Atlanta, with a minimum total of 220 points. Tonight the results should not drop, so it is better to consider Total Over and due to Atlanta's need to build up a margin of victory, the incentive to give the maximum is quite high. We can gamble on and consider a win for the visitors.

• Total Over (236.5) for 1.70;
• W2 for 2.65;
• W2 for 2.61.
