Our Milwaukee Bucks vs Atlanta Hawks Prediction
The Bucks, who are one of the best three-point shooting teams in the league, should be able to exploit Atlanta's problematic perimeter defense. This is also a nice revenge spot for Milwaukee who will get another crack at the Hawks after losing to them just 10 days ago.
The visitors are certainly playing well at the moment and have been an entertaining watch. However, the statistics show that they have some glaring weaknesses. We expect the Bucks, who are a more balanced team, to advance to the final. Our Milwaukee Bucks vs Atlanta Hawks prediction: Bucks -3 point spread.
