Atlanta Hawks vs Milwaukee Bucks: Pick
Giannis Antetokounmpo has missed three of the last four games for the Bucks due to a knee injury. It is possible that the forward might return for Monday night action, but there has been no official word yet. He has averaged close to 32 points per game in 9 appearances this season. If he does, then it could turn out to be a tough night for Atlanta. However, the Bucks will have to keep it tight from their end and the team needs to come together.
Best Pick: Total Over 223.5 (-110)
Atlanta Hawks vs Milwaukee Bucks: Prediction
Atlanta have lost six of their last ten games against the Milwaukee Bucks. They did, however, manage to win their first encounter earlier in the season. The Bucks will be gearing up to settle the score and since they play at home, they do have a slight advantage. If Giannis features tonight, it might turn out to be a long night for the Hawks.
Final Prediction: Bucks -4 (-110)
