Milwaukee at Atlanta

The Atlanta Hawks made a resounding statement to the Bucks that they are here to win and are a rising power in the NBA East. The Hawks opened up a 17 point first quarter lead and cruised. I like their chances of doing it again. The Hawks have scored 99+ in eight of their last ten at home vs teams in this year's playoff field. The Bucks had it going but the loss of Andrew Bogut is hurting them, especially on the road vs a solid Atlanta team. The Bucks are just 1-7-1 ATS as a road dog in their last nine playoff games and have now played 13-3-2 to the OVER in quarterfinal playoff games. Atlanta is 35-7 SU and 26-16 ATS at home this season. They sport a 15-3 mark to the OVER following a straight up win and have the talent edge here.  They will play them in this one, with the OVER as well.
