Prediction for the NBA match which will take place on March 5. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Atlanta

Last night's game against Memphis once again showed the imbalance in Atlanta's game. Quin Snyder has failed to improve the team's defense, and the Hawks still concede a lot. At the same time, Atlanta is able to win about 50% of their wins due to quality work on offense. The Hawks beat the Grizzlies 132-130. Caris Lavert scored 25 points, and Zachary Rizashe - the first number one of the 2024 draft - scored 27 points. Trae Young had 15 assists.

Atlanta sits in ninth place in the Eastern Conference. The balance is 28-33. There are no doubts about the Georgia team making the playoffs, but the Hawks will almost certainly not make the playoffs directly. The gap from the top-6 is 6.5 wins.

Milwaukee

The Bucks played the previous two games against strong teams from the Western Conference and won two victories. Doc Rivers' team, excellent on offense, first broke the resistance of Denver (121:112), and then on the road confidently outplayed Dallas (132:117). Thus, Milwaukee improved its chances for home court advantage in the first round of the playoffs. At the moment, the Bucks share fourth place in the Eastern Conference standings with Indiana with a 34-25 balance.

In terms of game performance, the Bucks are actually doing well offensively in stretches, but are scoring less than they did last season - 114.4 to 119.0. But Milwaukee's defense has improved noticeably - 112.5 points allowed per game to last year's 116.4.

Expert Betting Tips

Atlanta is located on the third from the end in the rating of defense efficiency, not bad at the same time attacking, but the total put on the upcoming match still looks overrated. The fact is that Milwaukee, on the contrary, is better on defense than on offense. At least, as a whole this season. Let's bet here on the total under, which in addition passed in all three face-to-face meetings between the rivals in the current championship.

Total Under 240.5 for 1.91
