Command Analysis
Bucks slipped up once again. After two consecutive victories Mike Budenholzer's players took a 88:110 defeat in the fourth game. It happened because Giannis Antetokounmpo got an injury. Bucks' leader played for only 24 minutes. In that time he managed to score 14 points and to collect eight rebounds. But after that he had to leave the game injured. He will probably miss the fifth match of the series, because the injury seemed to be quite serious. Mike Budenholzer is unlikely to put his leader at risk.
In Antetokounmpo's absence, fans will count on Khris Middleton and Jrue Holiday. This duo needs to put up the best performance and to prove their worth without Giannis.
There are also injuries in Atlanta's squad. Trae Young and Clint Capela may miss the fifth game. Young has a bruised right foot and Capela has a right eye inflammation. Injuries are not too severe, but Nate McMillan is unlikely to risk these players.
We should note that Hawks won the last game because of a superb performances from Bogdan Bogdanovic and Louis Williams. That duo scored 41 points, collected eight rebounds and gave 13 assists. As we see, Hawks are able to play well even without Young.

Tip and bets
Milwaukee is back on Fiserv Forum, so we can expect another great performance from the Bucks. At home they are playing much better than on the road. Moreover, Hawks will play without Young and Capela, so it will decrease Atlanta's chances.
We think that Mike Budenholzer's side will take advantage of Hawks' problems.
Our prediction - Milwaukee to win (Including OT)
We don't expect a high-scoring game here. Teams will play without their leaders, so we don't see a reason for a spectacular performance.
Our second prediction - total under 218,5 points
