Betting on the Milwaukee Bucks
- Regular Season Record: 25-14
The Milwaukee Bucks have not had the best start to 2023 despite already being able to count on Giannis Antetokounmpo and Jrue Holiday. Nevertheless, they remain firmly in the top half of the Eastern Conference, currently occupying third place and being just 2.5 games off the top.
Milwaukee’s defense has been more vulnerable in its recent outings, averaging 116.8 points allowed per game. However, their main concern here is their offense, which has struggled to be productive away from home, averaging just 106.9 points scored per game.
Betting on the Atlanta Hawks
- Regular Season Record: 19-21
On the other hand, the Atlanta Hawks are not at their best either, but at least they will come into this game with a little more pep in their step after closing a four-game road trip with two wins in their last three games, putting them back in the top ten in the East for one of the playoff spots.
That last victory for the team led by Nate McMillan came last Sunday against the Los Angeles Clippers, in a game in which they had a great final reaction, winning the last quarter 27-21 to end with a 112-108 victory. Trae Young was the team’s best in that win with 30 points and 8 assists, while De’Andre Hunter contributed another 20 points.
The Hawks have been a solid offensive team with an average of 115.2 points scored per game, but their defense has left much to be desired, being one of the worst in the league with an average of 116.5 points allowed.
JefeBet Prediction
This will not be an easy game for the Bucks, who are not in their best rhythm and will be playing as visitors, a condition in which they have a 9-9 record and where their offense has been very deficient, something that will give the Hawks the opportunity to do a better job on their side of the court.
Moreover, defensively, the Bucks have also failed to perform at their best in their recent performances. And surely the Hawks, led by a great Trae Young, will be able to take advantage of those shortcomings to continue their good offensive production.
Although Atlanta is not the most reliable team, when they play at home they are usually much more solid, even leaving a positive 11-8 home record, so facing a Bucks that are not at their best level we expect the Hawks to fight until the end and at least not lose by a lot of points.
Prediction: Atlanta Hawks Spread.
