The Milwaukee Bucks built more momentum after taking Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Finals after a 113-102 win against the Atlanta Hawks at the State Farm Arena. They now lead the Hawks 2-1 in the series and are two wins away from making it to the NBA Finals. Thanks to Khris Middleton, the Bucks can take back home court advantage from the Hawks after a 38-point performance that led his team to victory.

Meanwhile, Nate McMillan and his team will look to respond after this loss. Despite having a good start and leading the game by as much as 15 points, the Hawks crumbled and lost the lead in the third quarter. This is their second home court game of the series, and they should capitalize on this opportunity before hitting the road once again.

Why Bet on the Milwaukee Bucks?

Khris Middleton was on fire in Game 3 as he matched his playoff career-high with 38 points, 11 rebounds, and 7 assists to his name. He carried his team in the fourth quarter with a handful of shots beyond the arc and mid-range jumpers. Meanwhile, the rest of the Bucks did well to guard the paint. With a size advantage on their side, they were able to control the lanes to get ahead of the Hawks.

Giannis Antetoukounmpo spearheaded the charge as they outscored the Hawks 56-34 in the paint. Although the ‘Greek Freak’ had a slow start, he slowly made his way to the scoreboard and ended his night with 33 points, 11 rebounds, and 3 assists.

In addition to the efforts of the duo, the role players did well to ensure a successful comeback. Brook Lopez and Bobby Portis combined for 25 points, while P.J. Tucker, Jrue Holiday, and Pat Connaughton made sure that the Bucks’ defensive measures were in place throughout the game.

Why Bet on the Atlanta Hawks?

The Hawks are lucky to snatch an important win in Game 1, which gives them a chance to play around with their strategy and how they could overcome the Bucks. They are the underdogs when it comes to physicality, but we’ve seen the team hurt their opponents in different ways. The stats tell us that they are less than 4% behind in field goal percentage at 46% and about 2% behind in three-point percentage at 30.5%. If they can up these numbers in Game 4, there’s a possibility to tie the series in front of their home crowd.

It was a tough night for the Hawks after they lost Trae Young. The guard twisted his ankle with less than a minute to go in the third quarter. He was having a sensational night before he was escorted out of the court having scored 35 points and 4 assists.

Nevertheless, if John Collins becomes more active on the offensive end, he can provide the Hawks with an x-factor and a shot at stretching the series while putting more pressure on the Bucks. He did put in 13 points, 8 rebounds, and 1 assist in Game 3, and we expect him to have some more playing time on Tuesday night.

Bucks vs. Hawks Expert Betting Prediction

The Bucks taking the lead should be a warning for the Hawks. They now have to find ways to utilize players other than Trae Young and bring in more physicality to the game. While this means the Bucks remain heavy favorites to win the next game, there’s still a glimpse of hope for the Hawks to take this one home.

We’ve seen the team cover the spread multiple times against bigger opponents, and we witnessed the No. 5 seed take down the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference, telling us that anything is possible.
