The current betting odds have the Bucks listed as a 1.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Bucks haven't been a great road team all season with just a 10-9 road record, but they just pulled off a close win against the Knicks in their last road game and are still one of the best teams in the NBA this year with their 26-14 record overall. The Hawks haven't been playing well lately as this is their 1st game back from a road trip out West and they have been struggling to stay above .500 this season with their 19-21 record overall. They haven't even been that good at home as they are 11-8 in home games. The Hawks are already in big trouble with their current situation in the standings but they have always been a good home team over the last few years. Now they are not even playing well there and they have one of the best teams in the East and the entire NBA coming into town here off a win. Giannis is going to take over this game and lead his team to another road win here whether it be a close game or now. The best way to place a bet here is on the Bucks to cover the spread in this game.
