EASTERN CONF TNT ANNIHILATOR! (27-12 TW!)
(NBA) Milwaukee vs. Atlanta, 01/17/2022 6:00 PM, Score: 114 - 121
Point Spread: 5.50 | -105.00 Atlanta (Home)
Result: Win
I'm playing on ATLANTA. No question. The Hawks have really struggled. They're finally (mostly) healthy though and I expect a visit from the defending champs to bring out the best in them. (While Atlanta is still expected to be without Capela and Bogdanovich, Milwaukee will miss Holiday and Lopez.) Remember, the Bucks eliminated the Hawks in a hard-fought series in last year's playoffs. The Hawks already won this season's first meeting by 20 points. The Bucks managed only 96 points last game. That's twice in their last three games that they failed to reach the 100 mark. While they will likely do so here, the offense isn't clicking at the moment. Note that they're only 29-39 ATS the past 2+ seasons, when off an upset loss. The Hawks' stats here are very similar to the Bucks' road stats, in terms of points scored and points allowed. I expect them to bring their best effort and am grabbing the points.
