- The Milwaukee Bucks demolished the Atlanta Hawks in Game 2 of their series to tie it 1-1.
- The Hawks are playing the next two games at home, but they are unlikely to be favored in either.
- Game 3 sees the Bucks favored by four points on the spread in Atlanta.
ATLANTA - The Milwaukee Bucks obliterated the Atlanta Hawks in Game 2, but the Hawks’ upset victory in Game 1 still means they have effectively stolen home-court advantage from the Bucks.
The Hawks will have their work cut out for them, though - the Bucks are big time favorites, and probably deserve to be.
As good as Trae Young has been in these playoffs, the Hawks don’t have the wing defenders to match up against Khris Middleton (even though he's been a bit off this series), and Giannis Antetokounmpo has good matchups in this series as well.
The Hawks will have to figure something out fast - Game 2 was a statement game from the Bucks, and even though the Hawks are at home, the Bucks are legit favorites on the online sportsbooks.
