Giannis Antetokounmpo and Trae Young
Atlanta Hawks vs Milwaukee Bucks predictions are here just before game 2 of the EC finals. The Atlanta Hawks have stunned everyone with their game 1 victory at the Fiserv Forum.

After a 113-116 in game 1, Atlanta Hawks will be brimming with confidence as they gear for the next game.
The Milwaukee Bucks couldn’t manage a win despite being in lead. Giannis Antetokounmpo was seen furious after their loss. He went on to explain the team huddle to stop perimeter shooting. But Bucks defense is truly struggling. The Greek freak will not take the defeat easy and will be back at Hawks for a revenge.
Atlanta Hawks vs Milwaukee Bucks Match Preview
The Atlanta Hawks completed a hat-trick of Game 1 wins on the road in the 2021 NBA playoffs when they beat the Milwaukee Bucks at Fiserv Forum on Wednesday. It was a closely contested match throughout, but the Hawks turned out to be the better team down the stretch, winning the tie 116-113. Trae Young was magnificent for the Atlanta Hawks yet again, scoring a career-high 48 points, to go with 11 assists and seven rebounds. The Atlanta Hawks were once again spot on at capitalizing on their opponents’ mistakes, which was the key to their win in Game 1. They will need to keep up with that while also replicating their clutch performance down the stretch to have a healthy chance of taking a 2-0 lead back to Georgia.
The Milwaukee Bucks started the game strongly but were once again held back by their inconsistent shooting. The likes of Khris Middleton and Pat Connaughton, in particular, struggled to find their range on the night. Meanwhile, Giannis Antetokounmpo was the scoring leader for the Milwaukee Bucks with 34 points. The short contested defense needs to take charge for the Bucks if they don’t wish to trail by 2-0.

Atlanta Hawks vs Milwaukee Bucks Injury Report
Already down De’Andre Hunter, the Hawks have listed wing Bogdan Bogdanovic as questionable for Game 2 as he battles a knee injury.

Milwaukee are the healthier line up compared to Hawks. The only injured player in the roster has been Devonte DiVincenzo down with ligament injury.

Atlanta Hawks vs Milwaukee Bucks Predictions
Atlanta Hawks have emerged as the fan favorite after their game 1 heroics. More than that, Trae Young has had a fair share of moment mocking down the entire Bucks. While this happens, Bucks won’t take it easy.
The Milwaukee Bucks have done a remarkable job of bouncing back in the series against the Brooklyn Nets. And if that is anything to go by, one can expect them to do a better job in the next match against the Atlanta Hawks. Khris Middleton did not have the best of games on Wednesday, but it’s very unlikely he’ll have an underwhelming outing in Game 2 as well.
