Atlanta is 7-3 ATS in the last 10 meetings, having covered the previous six matchups before this season. The over-under has gone 5-5. The Hawks snapped a two-game losing streak with a 118-115 home win over the Pistons their last game. Atlanta is 4-6 ATS in its last 10 games, while the over has gone 6-4.

The Bucks are playing strong basketball as of late, showing a strong defensive effort that wasn’t always there before previous head coach Jason Kidd was fired. Atlanta is a team that goes through the motions a lot in road games and with the Bucks having an extra day to prepare for this contest, I like the hosts to cover here.
