The Atlanta Hawks (4-1) venture to take on the Milwaukee Bucks (4-0) at 8:00 PM ET Saturday at the Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Last season the Bucks finished with 51 wins, tied for the second-best record in the East, but got the third seed. Their playoff run was derailed by injuries. Meanwhile, the Hawks were eighth and hosted a play-in tournament game after winning 43 games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These two <a href=\"https:\/\/insidersbettingdigest.com\/nba\/teams\/\">NBA teams<\/a> feature two of the brightest stars in the league who captivate an audience with their likable personalities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"betus-banner-mobile\"><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"https:\/\/js.revmasters.com\/javascript.php?prefix=z3KfcvjZ5neMKNOJN2Xw7mNd7ZgqdRLk&amp;media=242&amp;campaign=1\"><\/script><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"betus-banner-desktop\"><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"https:\/\/js.revmasters.com\/javascript.php?prefix=z3KfcvjZ5nd30LgpPv-Es2Nd7ZgqdRLk&amp;media=419&amp;campaign=1\"><\/script><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Atlanta Hawks vs. Milwaukee Bucks Odds<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<table class = \"styled-ibd-table\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<td>Team<\/td>\n<td>Spread<\/td>\n<td>Moneyline<\/td>\n<td>Total<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Atlanta<\/td>\n<td>+5.00 (-110)<\/td>\n<td>+165<\/td>\n<td>Over 229 (-110)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Milwaukee<\/td>\n<td>-5.00 (-110)<\/td>\n<td>-200<\/td>\n<td>Under 229 (-110)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n\n<p>The Bucks are favored by five points, meaning a bet on them against the spread will win if they win by six or more.

However, they are 2-0 on the road this season and have been above average on offense and defense so far this year. They rank 11th in scoring 117.6 points per game and are the fifth most efficient offense, converting 48.5% of field goal attempts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, they are 21st from the 3-point line at 33.8%. Defensively the Hawks are 13th in allowing 111.2 points per game. The efficiency numbers are solid, though, as they are third-best at limiting teams to 30.8% on 3-pointers and 10th-best at 45.2% from the field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If there is a place for improvement, it is rebounding. Their 44 rebounds per game is 18th, while allowing 46.4 rebounds per game is 22nd. Being average makes them a viable Hawks vs Bucks picks play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Atlanta Hawk Projected Lineup<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Young (29.4 points per game, 10.6 assists per game, 3.4 rebounds per game) is the star and will be the starting point guard<\/li><li>Dejounte Murray (19.8 ppg, 7.6 apg, 6.8 rpg) is getting acclimated well alongside him in the backcourt<\/li><li>DeAndre Hunter (14.6 ppg, 1.6 apg, 3.8 rpg) starts on the wing, and brings more defensively<\/li><li>John Collins (16.0 ppg, 10.4 rpg, 2.4 blocks per game) remains in Atlanta after last season\u2019s trade rumors and starts at power forward<\/li><li>Clint Capela (7.0 ppg, 9.2 rpg, 2.0 bpg) mans the middle<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Atlanta Hawks Injuries<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Veteran wing Bogdan Bogdanovic is out indefinitely with a knee injury after sitting out Friday\u2019s win over the <a href=\"https:\/\/insidersbettingdigest.com\/nba\/teams\/detroit-pistons\/\">Detroit Pistons.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Milwaukee continuing greatness<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Giannis Antetokounmpo is a unicorn of sorts who leads the Bucks to many victories over time. The Bucks have yet to be tested at home this year, where they\u2019ve won every game by double digits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They also beat likely playoff team, Philadelphia, on the road in a game <a href=\"https:\/\/insidersbettingdigest.com\/nba\/teams\/milwaukee-bucks\/\">Milwaukee Bucks<\/a> was underdogs in. They\u2019ve had two units at opposite ends of the NBA spectrum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Defensively they are the best team in the league allowing 100 points per game and forcing opponents to shoot 40.3% from the field \u2013 the best rate in the league \u2013 and 32.5% on 3-pointers, ranking sixth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Offensively, though, the Bucks are 22nd at 111 points per game, 25th with a 44.5% field goal percentage, and 22nd with a 33.8% 3-point percentage. They do, however, have the best rebounding group at 52.3 per game and limit opponents to 45.5 per game, which ranks 20th.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Milwaukee Bucks Projected Lineup<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>With several starters out, here is how the Bucks are expected to line up;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Jrue Holiday (14.0 points per game, 7.0 assists per game, 5.3 rebounds per game) mans the point guard position<\/li><li>Jevon Carter (5.3 ppg, 1.8 apg, 2.5 rpg) has been the starting shooting guard, mostly known for his defense<\/li><li>Grayson Allen (11.3 ppg, 3.0 apg, 4.3 rpg), a struggling sharpshooter, is also on the wing<\/li><li>Antetokounmpo (34.5 ppg, 6.3 apg, 13.3 rpg) is the bonafide leader of the group<\/li><li>Brook Lopez (11.8 ppg, 6.5 rpg, 4.0 blocks per game) rounds out the frontcourt.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Milwaukee Bucks Injuries<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Milwaukee\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/insidersbettingdigest.com\/nba\/injuries\/\">NBA injury report <\/a>is lengthy and leaves them with plenty of wing depth. New signee Joe Ingles suffered a pre-camp injury and is out till mid-January, when his knee should be healthy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pat Connaughton is due back in a couple of weeks with a calf injury, as is Khris Middleton, who is out with a wrist injury.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Atlanta Hawks vs. Milwaukee Bucks Pick and Prediction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>So far, public Hawks vs Bucks picks show that 70% of bets are on the Bucks to cover the five points. Then 62% of public bets are on the over 229.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some things to consider: The Hawks are 0-5 against the spread in their last five games after following an against-the-spread win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The under is 5-1 in the last six Hawks games following an against-the-spread win, and 8-0 in the last eight Hawks games against a team with a winning percentage above .600.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, the under is 4-0 in the last four Bucks games after allowing 100 points or more in their previous game. All that being said, our Hawks vs Bucks picks are Bucks -5 and under 229.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you love sports and want more <a href=\"https:\/\/insidersbettingdigest.com\/\">sports betting information<\/a> follow us as <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/InsidersBetDig\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">@InsidersBetDig<\/a> on Twitter and sign up to our mailing list for <a href=\"https:\/\/insidersbettingdigest.com\/news\/\">free betting picks<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bucks standings show Milwaukee has won straight up and against the spread in each game this season The Bucks are 4-1 against the spread against the Hawks in the last five meetings in Milwaukee NBA matchups show Milwaukee has won 115 of the 229 regular season matchups, while the Hawks have won the other 114&hellip; <a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/insidersbettingdigest.com\/news\/nba\/atlanta-hawks-vs-milwaukee-bucks-odds-prediction-live-picks\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Atlanta Hawks vs. Milwaukee Bucks Odds, Prediction, Live &#038; Picks<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":17149,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[164],"tags":[254,246,218],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/insidersbettingdigest.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17146"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/insidersbettingdigest.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/insidersbettingdigest.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/insidersbettingdigest.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/insidersbettingdigest.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=17146"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/insidersbettingdigest.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17146\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/insidersbettingdigest.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/17149"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/insidersbettingdigest.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=17146"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/insidersbettingdigest.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=17146"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/insidersbettingdigest.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=17146"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
