The current betting odds have the Bucks listed as a 5.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Bucks have looked good in their games this season with their 27-22 record overall which has them in the top half of the East. They haven't been a good road team this year with their 10-14 road record though. Meanwhile, the Hawks haven't looked good in their games this season with their 23-28 record overall, but that record still has them in a play-in spot in the East. They haven't looked good on their home court though with their 11-12 home record, and they haven't been playing well lately either. The Bucks haven't looked great lately as they are 5-5 in their last 10 games, but the Hawks have been even worse with their 1-9 record in their last 10 games. The Hawks are coming off a loss at home to the Spurs in their last one too while the Bucks have some momentum with a win over the Hornets. The Bucks will also be in high spirits here as they just traded away Khris Middleton for Kyle Kuzma to help make a deep playoff run so they are going to feed off that boost in these next few games. The Hawks are still fighting for playoff contention, but that is more of a reflection on how bad the East is since the Hawks haven't been a good team this season. The Bucks actually turned things around after their terrible start to the season and have looked a lot better over the last month, look for them to start getting hot as the playoffs get closer. The best way to place a bet here is on the Bucks to cover the spread in this game.

“For me, it’s a little bit bigger than business, it’s family. With a guy that I’ve won a championship with — it’s not only that I’ve won, I’ve lost a lot of times with him. I’ve been in a dark place a lot of times with him. I’ve been in the bus going to a lot of pressure situations with him. … That’s what I remember.” - Giannis Antetokounmpo on trading away Khris Middleton.

"One of the things that we've talked to him a lot about is just his aggressiveness attacking the basket. That is another thing that as the season has progressed, he has been more aggressive in whatever it is that he is doing in there. If he's passing or finishing, or shooting a floater or a layup, just the fact that he is getting in the paint is big for us." - Quin Snyder on Dyson Daniels this season.
