Milwaukee Bucks vs. Atlanta Hawks Prediction and Betting Tips | Feb. 7, 2025

After a busy trade deadline, the Milwaukee Bucks will take on the Atlanta Hawks for the first time since making some key moves before Thursday's cut-off. The Bucks made a surprising move when they parted ways with veteran wing Khris Middleton in favor of Kyle Kuzma, sending Middleton to the Washington Wizards.

They also bolstered their reserve unit with the addition of Jericho Sims from the New York Knicks in exchange for Delon Wright.

Atlanta also made a move, sending De'Andre Hunter to Cleveland in exchange for Caris LeVert, Georges Niang and a pair of second-round picks. Each of these teams could see their newest acquisitions suit up on Friday night.
