Game Overview
The Milwaukee Bucks, currently sixth in the East, host the seventh-placed Atlanta Hawks. Both teams are struggling with injuries, particularly the Bucks missing Damian Lillard and the Hawks without key players like Jalen Johnson and Clint Capela.
Key Factors to Consider
- The Bucks have lost their last three games and are 8-7 without Damian Lillard this season. Atlanta won three straight before losing two recent games due to defensive struggles. Giannis Antetokounmpo leads the Bucks with significant performances when Lillard is out.
- The regular season series between the Bucks and Hawks is tied at 2-2, indicating a competitive matchup.
- Damian Lillard is out for the Bucks with a serious calf injury, while Giannis Antetokounmpo is questionable. The Hawks are missing Jalen Johnson, Larry Nance Jr., and Clint Capela.
- The Bucks, despite their current losing streak, have a strong home record, which could influence their performance. The Hawks' inability to defend consistently might be challenged by Milwaukee's robust defense.
- Both teams have significant motivation to win, as they are closely positioned in the Eastern Conference standings, but the Bucks may be more motivated to break their losing streak.
