The young Milwaukee Bucks have looked quite confident and impressive to this point, leading their series vs. the Atlanta Hawks 2-1. This is a long and lengthy athletic team, and they have given Atlanta fits with a youthful and athletic defense. The Hawks have shot just 39.5% in the series. The Bucks have won with that defense, but they also have shot well over their heads from deep at 46.3% in the series, and I don't think that is going to continue. This should be an intense start as Milwaukee tries to continue to impose their defensive will early to keep the home crowd from getting into the game. Meanwhile, Atlanta knows it has to step it up defensively or they will find themselves down 3-1 and in a bad spot. Look for this one to be played tight early, leading to the first half total staying UNDER.
