Why Should You Bet on the Bucks?

The Milwaukee Bucks have been a bit of an enigma all season long. They gave the Golden State Warriors their first loss of the season, and then went to Golden State and almost gave them a second one. Against the Cavaliers, the top seed in the Eastern Conference, they were right in the game until the final minute, when J.R. Smith buried a three with 20 seconds to go. Giannis Antetokounmpo scored 24 points, and Jerryd Bayless added 15. This is a team that has lost four of five but are playing hard every night and should keep things close against the Hawks — or they could win it outright.

Why Should You Put Your Money on Atlanta?

Few teams pour on the three-point shooting in the East like the Atlanta Hawks. They bounced back from a 15-point loss to the Wizards at home by finishing the home-and-home with a 19-point win in the nation’s capital. The team got 23 points from backup guard Dennis Schroder and drained a season-best 17 shots from downtown. Thabo Sefolosha was part of a team effort to deny John Wall a big game, and they did just that as he was held to 6 of 17 shooting, with just 13 points. Washington was in it until early in the fourth period, when the Hawks went on a 25-5 run.

Expert Betting Pick and Final Score Prediction

I like the Hawks to build on the momentum of the win over Washington and knock off a Milwaukee team that is game but still lacks the talent to beat contenders. I’m picking Atlanta, 110-103.
