AMEDEUS' NBA EAST GAME OF THE MONTH!
(NBA) Hawks (ATL) vs. Bucks (MIL),
Point Spread: 4.50 | -115.00 Hawks (ATL) (Away)
Result: Win
The Hawks are coming into this game with an 11-11 record this season and they have been on fire in their recent games. They have won their last 4 straight games with 3 of those wins coming by 10+ points, and they have some quality wins in that span as well, beating the Cavaliers twice with 1 of those being on the road. They have not played since Monday so they are well rested for this game and they have actually won their last 2 straight on the road as well as 3 of their last 5 games. They are going up against a Bucks team that is 11-9 this season and has also been on fire in their recent games. They have won their last 7 straight games and have been dominant in a lot of these, but their last 6 straight games have also been against teams under .500. The only team they faced over .500 on this win streak was the Rockets which is the game this win streak started with, but that was not a dominant win for them as they only beat the Rockets by 1 point at home. They are coming off of a 128-107 win on the road against the Pistons in their last game, but that game was last night and they had to travel back from Detroit to Milwaukee after so they are playing on a B2B here and are not in a great spot with the travel against a rested Hawks team. The Bucks also needed to win that game against the Pistons to win their group in the NBA IST so it was a game they expended a lot of energy to win and will not have the same intensity here. The Hawks can take advantage of that as they have been playing very well recently and will have the confidence from some quality wins in that span as well. The Hawks will cover the spread in this game.
