Hawks vs. Bucks NBA Betting Preview: Picks & Odds

Hawks vs. Bucks Game Info

Atlanta Hawks (41-31, 16-20 Away) vs. Milwaukee Bucks (46-26, 26-10 Home)
Date: Thursday, July 1, 2021
Time: 8:30 pm EST
Venue: Fiserv Forum – Milwaukee, Wis.
Coverage: TNT

As with many games during the NBA playoffs this season, the theme of Game 4 was injuries. Trae Young was unable to play due to a bone bruise in his foot/ankle. Clint Capela got elbowed in the eye in the fourth quarter, making him questionable for today’s game, along with Young. However, the most significant injury was a hyperextended knee from Giannis Antetokounmpo. He somehow avoided any structural injury, but he is considered doubtful tonight.

It is unknown if either start player will be on the floor, but Atlanta is coming into Milwaukee off a big 20-point game from Bogdan Bogdanovic and 21 points from Lou Williams. If Young is out, both must continue to carry the offense, especially with John Collins perpetually in foul trouble or non-existent on the offensive end of the floor.

For the Bucks, it’s clear both Jrue Holiday and Khris Middleton will need to step up their offensive aggressiveness. They combined to shoot 12-for-34 in Game 4, which is not going to get the job done. No Giannis completely changes this Milwaukee team. Will the Bucks be able to make the needed adjustments?

Hawks vs. Bucks NBA Betting Picks + Prediction

Mike Budenholzer and the Milwaukee Bucks should adjust their gameplan tonight. No Giannis also forced Atlanta to adjust their gameplan. In a strange way, the injury to Antetokounmpo could be a blessing in disguise in some ways. He demanded the ball a lot, and rightfully so. However, him bring the ball up the floor usually ended in a poor possession or him losing the ball. In the hands of both Holiday and Middleton, the offense can open up and the Hawks cannot be bailed out by fouling Giannis.

Also, the emotion of playing without Giannis while also being in front of the home crowd should give the Bucks the energy they need. Bobby Portis will get more minutes, and he is capable of scoring. Hopefully Milwaukee will get Brook Lopez more involved as well since he could be their ticket to the NBA Finals.

NBA Betting Prediction: Bucks -2
