5* Hawks/Bucks NBA Blue Chip Game of the Week: Bucks -4.5

Milwaukee is showing some great value as a small home favorite against Atlanta. The Hawks will be playing on no rest, as they defeated the Kings 122-108 at home last night. The final score may look like Atlanta dominated that game, but they were only up 5-points going into the 4th quarter.

It's going to be hard for the Hawks to match the Bucks intensity. Not only are the Hawks coming off that fast-paced game against the Kings, but this will be their third game in the last four nights and first road game in 10 days. Milwaukee on the other hand will be playing on two days rest and extremely motivated after losing two games they very easily could have won in a home-and-home set against the Nets on Tuesday and Wednesday.

The Hawks are just 7-16-1 in their last 24 games following an ATS win and 1-4 ATS in their last 5 vs the Eastern Conference. This series is all about the home team, as the visitor is just 1-4 ATS in the last five meetings. BET THE BUCKS!
