Atlanta Hawks are coming off a 130-132 win over the Memphis Grizzlies in their previous match. The game was tied at 130-130 with 1.34 minutes left on the game clock. Dyson Daniels steals the ball and passes to Caris Levert for an easy layup and a win for the Hawks. Power Forward Zacharie Risacher with 27 points was the top scorer, while Caris Levert dropped 25 points off the bench, of which 16 points came in the last quarter. Trae Young (12 points, 15 assists) and Onyeka Okongwu (16 points, 12 rebounds) recorded double-doubles.
As the Hawks and their two game losing streak with a win over the Grizzlies another tough challenge in the form of the Bucks awaits them. With the return of Clint Capela from injury and Levert, Mann and Niang bolstering their bench scoring the Hawks look to stay in the race for a top six finish. With that being said the Hawks won four of their last six home games and are averaging 115.7 points per game.
Atlanta Hawks Probable Starting Lineup – Trae Young, Dyson Daniels, Zacharie Risacher, Dominick Barlow
Milwaukee Bucks enter this contest on the back of a 117-132 dominant win over the Dallas Mavericks in their last game. Giannis Antetokounmpo’s 29 points, 9 rebounds and 9 assists effort was perfectly complemented by Damian Lillard’s 28 points. Gary Trent Jr continues to make valuable contributions off the bench as he drops 20 points. While Lopez and Kyle Kuzma keep scoring in double figures providing the offensive and defensive support to the Bucks main players. Kevin Porter Jr since his arrival in Milwaukee has averaged 8.4 points per game. WIth Bobby Portis suspended for 25 games, Jericho Sims will continue to garner additional game time until the first week of April.
The Bucks won four of their last five games and are averaging 114.8 points per game, while they allowed 108.6 points per game. The Bucks have restricted their opponents shooting and excelling from long range where they restricted their opponents to under 30% efficiency in three of the last five games.
Milwaukee Bucks Probable Starting Lineup – Damian Lillard, Taurean Prince, Kyle Kuzma, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Brook Lopez
Total Match Points Over 240.5 @ -110 (BetMGM)
The average total points in the three games played between the Bucks and Hawks this season is 220. In both games, neither the Hawks nor the Bucks were at full strength. However, for this game, both teams’ offenses look completely different, suggesting a high-scoring affair. We predict the total points to exceed 240.
Atlanta Hawks Total Team Points Over 117.5 @ -115 (BetMGM)
The Hawks have scored over 117 points in two of their last three games. With additional depth provided by Caris LeVert, Niang, and Terence Mann coming off the bench, and four of their five starters consistently scoring in double figures, the Hawks have no shortage of scoring options.
Giannis Antetokounmpo Total Points Over 26.5
Antetokounmpo has scored over 26 points in each of his last three games, and against the Hawks, Giannis scored over 30 points in both games he played this season. We expect Giannis to have another productive outing against the Hawks and score over 26 points.
This is the fourth time the Hawks and Bucks will face each other this season. The Hawks hold a 2-1 lead over the Bucks. When these two teams last clashed last month, the Hawks defeated the Bucks 115-110. However, things look different for this game as Giannis has returned from injury and has been dominant against every opponent.
Our Prediction – We back the Milwaukee Bucks to Win the game and predict the total match points Over 240.5.
