Going into the odds, online sportsbooks currently have the Milwaukee Bucks listed as heavier favorites to beat the Hawks and take a commanding 3-1 lead in the series.
Milwaukee Bucks Vs. Atlanta Hawks
- Moneyline: Bucks (-270) vs. Hawks (+220)
- Spread: Bucks -7
- Total: 219 Points
It is not surprising as to why the Bucks are favored going into Game 4 being that they are currently up 2-1. However, the reason for such heavy odds swaying on their side is due to the fact that Trae Young is listed as questionable per the Atlanta Hawks Twitter account a day before the game.

Adding even more fuel to the fire here for the Bucks, the Hawks have played less than efficiently when Trae Young is not playing. In the nine games that Trae Young has sat out this season, the Hawks have gone 5-4 and averaged 104.8 ppg which is 9 points below their season average of 113.7 ppg.
NBA bettors should still keep an eye on the Hawks moneyline odds while also keeping up with news on which way Young is trending towards game time. If Young does end up suiting up, the Hawks NBA odds are sure to shift and those who took the risk on the Hawks early could end up with a nice profit if Young were to lead them to a win.
As for the spread, similarly to the moneyline, if Young does not play, the Bucks will have it easy in this one in terms of covering the spread.
Even if Young does end up playing, many might argue that 7 points in Milwaukee’s favor is generous, but they did cover the spread in their last two games which included an 8.5-point line in Game 2.
The Bucks have also been hot against the spread in general having gone 4-1 against the spread after scoring over 100 points in their previous game. Not to mention, they are also 4-1 against the spread in their last 5 games overall.
Looking into the point total, 219 is the lowest point total in this series by far as earlier in the series they saw 225, 226, and 224 totals in Games 1-3. The Under though has been a surprising theme in the first three games having gone 2-1 and barely hitting the Over in Game 1 as it went Over by just four points. Also, with Young’s potential absence, the Under is sure to hit once more.
