This is a 10* TOP FRIDAY SIDE on the Bucks.

Atlanta's been unbelievable. In every respect. It's getting unbelievable defensive play. It's been extremely efficient from the floor and it's getting superb play from its super star Trae Young. It's also received fantastic coaching from Nate McMillan.

The Hawks are on a similar run as to what the Miami Heat were on in The Bubble last year.

But having accomplished a "split" already over these first two games, I believe that the Hawks do indeed get caught a little flat here in Game 2, while conversely, I expect Giannis and company to risk life and limb today to try and avoid the 0-2 hole, before heading to Atlanta for two games.

It's a bit of a larger spread, but I believe ATL is going to throw in the white flag early and get ready for Game 3 at home.

Finally, note that the Bucks have responded well in this spot for bettors, going 8-2 ATS in their last ten in trying to revenge a home loss against an opponent in which they allowed 115 or more points in.

This one has "B-L-O-W-O-U-T" written all over it.

The play is Milwaukee.

Good luck, NP
