Why The Hawks Could Cover The Spread

Even though they trail in the series, the Hawks were very, very close to getting a second upset in the series in Game 3.

Atlanta was in control of the game until the end of the third quarter, when Trae Young injured his ankle in a stroke of bad luck by stepping on a referee's foot. Young was forced to exit the game and is officially listed as questionable for Game 4.

The injury certainly derailed the Trae and the Hawks. Young shot 1-of-4 from the field after the injury after shooting 11-of-19 prior, and the Hawks were outscored 31-17 after he was forced to the locker room.

The biggest question for the Hawks is the status of Young, and the reports are positive despite that questionable tag. Per Mike Conti of the Atlanta Hawks Radio Network, the young star went through shootaround and “is looking good.”

With Young on the floor, it's impossible to count the Hawks out. Ice Trae is averaging 32.7 points, 6.0 assists, and 3.0 rebounds while shooting 47.9% from the field in the series. It's a good bet he plays to give the Hawks the lift they need on the offensive end.

Defensively, Atlanta had done a solid job of keeping Khris Middleton relatively quiet until his Game 3 takeover.  Prior to Game 3, Middleton was shooting 33.0% from the field and had just 30 points total over two games.

The Bucks are nearly impossible to beat when two of their three stars have big games. Giannis is going to get his against this Hawks lineup, but Jrue Holiday and Khris Middleton have proven vulnerable.

The Hawks will focus on slowing Middleton on the defensive end and amp up the pressure as they did in the first two matchups. Middleton caught fire at the perfect time last game, and we'll see if it happens again. If the Hawks make Giannis bear the brunt of the offensive load, they can even the series.

Why The Bucks Could Cover The Spread

Coming into this series, the Bucks already held a massive edge in team depth. Now, with Trae Young questionable and Bogdan Bogdanovic still not fully healthy, the Milwaukee advantage is at an all-time high.

It'd be a shock to see Young not suit up for this critical game, but the question remains how effective he will be.

We've already seen how an injury has essentially made Bogdanovic a non-factor. He's shooting 25.0% from the field and only averaging 6.7 points for the Hawks in the series, robbing them of one of their best shooters and scorers. As noted above, Young wasn't too hot himself in a small sample size after tweaking his ankle.

The problem for the Hawks is that they simply don't win games against elite teams when Young doesn't play well, which doesn't bode well considering he's not even a lock to play in this one.

In the Eastern Conference Semifinals and the ECF, Young has scored under 30 points six times. The Hawks are 2-4 in those games. Atlanta doesn't have the firepower to withstand a Young off-game against this loaded Bucks roster.

Looking at the Bucks box scores in these last three matchups really shows just how deep of a team they are. In Game 1, they had two 3o-point scorers (Giannis and Holiday), and it took an atrocious shooting night from Khris Middleton and a night for the ages for Trae for the Hawks to eke out a win.

In Games 2 and 3, the Bucks got contributions from all over the place. Jrue Holiday only scored six points in Game 3, but his hounding defense forced countless key stops. P.J. Tucker shot the ball only three times, but his eight rebounds were a big part of why the Bucks pulled out the win. Bobby Portis had 15 points off the bench in Game 3.

All in all, there was already a major roster mismatch in this series, and we could see it get even worse in Game 4.

Final Bucks-Hawks Game 4 Prediction & Pick

Considering the injuries to the Hawks, I just don't see how they'll keep up with the Bucks, especially against a Middleton who has found his groove. I expect the Hawks to keep this close in the first half, but they'll lose the war of attrition eventually. The Bucks should wear down a weary Atlanta team, and in the end, pull out a statement victory. Take the Bucks line all the way to seven points, and I would keep an eye on the live line if the Hawks come out to a hot start to get the Bucks at an even lower number.
