The Milwaukee Bucks will travel to the State Farm Arena to face the Atlanta Hawks in the NBA on Friday night. The Hawks (23-28) are ninth in the Eastern Conference while the Bucks (27-22) are fifth. Let’s get into the match prediction!

The Atlanta Hawks have been in a bad way of late and slumped to 1-9 in their last 10 after losing to the San Antonio Spurs 126-125 in midweek.

Trae Young posted 32 points and 12 assists and Onyeka Okongwu added 30 points, but as has been the case this season, Atlanta’s defence went non-existent for large parts which kept the Spurs in the game. 

The Hawks are the eight-highest-scoring team in the NBA (116.1 PPG), but they concede the third most points (119.2 PPG).

Meanwhile, the Milwaukee Bucks will be keen to rebuild some momentum after ending their four-match losing streak with a 112-102 victory over the Hornets on Wednesday. 

Damian Lillard and Bobby Portis combined for 52 points. As a team, Milwaukee shot 50% from the field and drained 18 of 42 attempts from beyond the arc. 

The Bucks are now averaging 113.9 points per game (12th in the league) while allowing 111.9 PPG (10th overall).
