LiontipsMilwaukee vs Atlanta. Predictions and Betting Tips for NBA
Command Analysis
Milwaukee eventually left Brooklyn behind and advanced into the next round. A star trio of Harden, Durant and Irving failed to secure a positive result for their team. In the last match Nets managed to turn the game into overtime, but Bucks eventually took the victory (115:111). Giannis Antetokounmpo was the best player on the floor that night, he put up 40 points, 13 rebounds and five assists.
We should note that in the series against Brooklyn Mike Budenholzer's players turned their attention to rim protection. In some matches they even managed to hold the opponent below the 100-point mark. Bucks will probably choose the same tactics for the series against Atlanta.
No one was expecting Atlanta in the Conference Finals. They finished the regular season only on fifth spot. But in the playoffs Trae Young and his partners are looking phenomenal, they have already eliminated New York and Philadelphia out of the tournament.
Series between Hawks and Sixers was especially difficult. Hawks were behind, but Nate McMillan and his players managed to turn the situation around and get the victory. The seventh game was the decisive one. Atlanta recorded a win at Wells Fargo Center (103:96) and advanced into the next round.

Tip and bets
At this stage any mistake can cost you too much, so we don't think that opponents will put up a high-scoring basketball. Milwaukee is playing very accurate on defense recently. In last four home games Bucks never conceded more than 98 points.
Atlanta also plays very carefully now. Taking that into account, we don't think that opponents will score more than 227 points.
Our prediction - total under 227,5 points
Milwaukee is on a 13-game winning streak. Atlanta is unlikely to break that streak. Hawks' last victory at Fiserv Forum was recorded in 2016. We are expecting Atlanta to lose once again.
Our second prediction - Milwaukee to win with a handicap of (-4,5) points
