LiontipsAtlanta vs Milwaukee. Predictions and Betting Tips for NBA
Command Analysis
Atlanta managed to pull off an upset in the first game against Milwaukee. Trae Young scored 48 points and helped the Hawks to secure a 116:113 victory. But Bucks analyzed their mistakes and performed much better in the second match. This time Trae scored only 15 points. But Atlanta's head coach saw that Young is not playing well and benched him. Overall, Trae played only 28 minutes. It was the right decision, because he kept his energy and will now be more fresh in the next game.
We should note that Hawks deserved a loss in the second game. Hawks were terrible on the offense, so their 91:125 defeat was inevitable.
After a defeat in the first game Giannis Antetokounmpo and his partners became angry and completely destroyed the Hawks in the second match. Only in the first quarter Hawks managed to put some resistance to the Bucks, but two next oness were lost by a 34 point difference.
In the previous match Mike Budenholzer's side put up a great team performance. All of the Milwaukee players were looking like a well-coordinated mechanism. Giannis Antetokounmpo and Jrue Holiday were the best players on the floor for Bucks. Giannis scored 25 points, while Jrue put up 22 points.
In the last match Mike Budenholzer gave some playing time to the back-up players. P.J. Tucker and Bobby Portis played more than 17 minutes. In the same time Giannis Antetokounmpo and Khris Middleton played 29 and 28 minutes respectively. Looks like Milwaukee's head coach is trying to keep the energy of his leaders for the next games.

Tip and bets
Milwaukee is not looking great on the road recently. But we shouldn't compare Brooklyn to Atlanta. Nets destroyed the Bucks at home, while Hawks are not looking so special. All of their hopes are depending on Trae Young. But if he will be closed down, Nate McMillan's lads won't have many chances.
In the previous match Bucks successfuly closed Trae Young down. We think that Mike Budenholzer's team won't change the strategy this time. Milwaukee has a great chance to take the lead in the series.
Our prediction - Milwaukee to win (Including OT)
In the second match Bucks successfully contained Atlanta's leaders. As a result, Hawks failed to score 100 points. In the series against Philadelphia we saw how hopeless Hawks are looking against the great defense. Hosts' offense can be broken down once again.
Our second prediction - total under 226,5 points
