Hawks at Bucks picks and predictions
Prediction
Hawks 117, Bucks 106
Moneyline
PASS.
Avoid this play. The Hawks (-300) should come out on top, but are far too expensive to consider, especially on the road.
Against the spread
BET HAWKS -7.5 (-115).
The Bucks have closed as an underdog of 5 to 10 points 3 times in their losing streak and are just 1-2 ATS in those contests. Their offense has been difficult to trust as well, scoring 102 points or fewer in 5 of their last 7 games.
Atlanta hasn't covered well as of late, but it has much more scoring upside. The Hawks have tallied at least 117 points in 3 of their last 4 games and have scored at least 114 points in 5 straight contests. That consistency is worth backing Sunday against a Bucks defense that ranks 28th (120.0) in defensive rating.
Over/Under
BET UNDER 234.5 (-110).
The Hawks play a fast style, but that hasn't necessarily translated into the Over hitting. They are just 3-5 O/U in their last 8 games and have scored 117 points or fewer in 2 straight outings.
The Bucks have gone Under in 6 of their last 7 games and have allowed more than 117 points in just 2 of those performances. Given their offense ranks 28th (105.7) in the NBA, they may not score enough to help top this total either.
Take UNDER 234.5 (-110).
