The Milwaukee Bucks vs. Atlanta Hawks Eastern Conference Finals matchup has been a true war of attrition.
Right when it seemed like Milwaukee had a clear advantage as Hawks superstar Trae Young suffered a freak injury stepping on a referee’s foot, Bucks two-time MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo suffered a hyperextended knee that will keep him out for an undisclosed amount of time.
In Game 4, no one knew what to truly expect. With Lou Williams starting in place of Young, Atlanta beat the Antetokounmpo-less Bucks by 22 points.
Then, Mike Budenholzer and the Bucks flipped the script on the Hawks, collecting an 11-point win with unlikely offensive contributions from their frontcourt in Game 5.
Now, Milwaukee enters a potential closeout Game 6 in Atlanta, optimistic that Antetokounmpo will be able to return in some capacity in the near future. With Trae Young still listed as questionable and Antetokounmpo out, our latest PRO Report shows that sharp bettors are expecting a low-scoring contest.
