Milwaukee @ Atlanta

Current Records: Milwaukee 26-14; Atlanta 19-21

What to Know

This Wednesday, the Atlanta Hawks are hoping to patch up the holes in a defense that has allowed an average of 116.4 points per contest. They will take on the Milwaukee Bucks at 7:30 p.m. ET Wednesday at State Farm Arena after having had a few days off. These two teams are tiptoeing into their game after sneaking past their previous opponents.

On Sunday, the Hawks narrowly escaped with a victory as the squad sidled past the Los Angeles Clippers 112-108. Atlanta's point guard Trae Young did his thing and had 30 points and eight assists.

Speaking of close games: things were close when Milwaukee and the New York Knicks clashed on Monday, but Milwaukee ultimately edged out the opposition 111-107. Milwaukee's power forward Giannis Antetokounmpo filled up the stat sheet, posting a double-double on 22 points and ten boards in addition to five dimes. Antetokounmpo hadn't helped his team much against the Charlotte Hornets last week, so this was a nice turnaround for him.

Atlanta is expected to win this handily, but they should have beaten Charlotte Oct. 23 easily too and instead slipped up with a 126-109. In other words, don't count the Bucks out just yet.
