Tonight’s Action

Bucks at Hawks

Watch: 7:30 p.m. ET, TNT

Odds: Bucks -4 || O/U 230.5

Pick: Milwaukee is playing the second of a back-to-back, but starters’ minutes were down thanks to their 130-105 rout of Minnesota. Atlanta’s Trae Young is questionable with a bruised left calf, while Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) is questionable for Milwaukee.
