NBA Odds: Hawks vs. Bucks prediction, odds and pick

Milwaukee Bucks are unbeaten in the NBA season. Giannis Antetokounmpo is averaging 34 points, 13 rebounds and 6 assists per game. Atlanta is the last team unbeaten. The Hawks got torched by a shorthanded Charlotte Hornet team this past Sunday. They split a pair of games with the Detroit Pistons earlier this week. Atlanta will host Milwaukee on Saturday. Clint Capela will play for the Rockets. He will be a defensive presence in their paint. Boston Celtics are struggling. Philadelphia 76ers and Brooklyn Nets are in bad shape.

The Hawks blew out the Pistons on Friday. They need to improve on defense, but they can go nuts on offense and grab an unexpected road victory. They fit the profile of a team which can do that.

The Bucks are the best team in the NBA through four games. Giannis is the league's best player. The Hawks are not the first team to give Milwaukee a loss.

The Bucks are on a winning streak. The Hawks do not figure to be the team which will play the level of defense needed to halt Milwaukee's winning run.
