Heading into another regular season clash of the 2024/25 NBA, we have a matchup in the Eastern Conference where the Milwaukee Bucks will host the Atlanta Hawks. The game, set to take place at the Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee, will tip off this Wednesday (4th) at 10 PM (Brasília time).
Milwaukee and Atlanta are battling for the fifth and sixth spots in the Eastern Conference.
Our Predictions: Milwaukee Bucks to Win
Last night, the Milwaukee Bucks faced the Detroit Pistons and came out on top. Meanwhile, the Atlanta Hawks played against the New Orleans Pelicans on Monday and also secured a victory. Despite being the more fatigued team, Wisconsin’s squad has an edge in head-to-head matchups and the home-court advantage, having won seven consecutive games at home. Therefore, the prediction leans towards a Bucks victory.
When facing teams that play a more open style, the Milwaukee Bucks have been scoring well. This is the case with the Atlanta Hawks, who have one of the league’s worst defenses but also a strong offensive system. Considering this, the suggestion is to bet on the over market for total points.
