If the Hawks didn't prove it against the Knicks, they sure proved it against the 76ers. They are young, well-coached, dangerous and can win on the road as their 5-2 away playoff record shows. 

Trae Young and Atlanta are playing on house money. They are battle-tested now and deserving of more respect than this inflated line. The pressure is on the Bucks, especially at home. Great during the regular season, disappointing in the playoffs. That's what the Bucks have been the previous two seasons under Mike Budenholzer. 

I don't see the Hawks stopping Giannis Antetokounmpo even though Nate McMillan greatly improved Atlanta's defense. But the Hawks have enough scorers to keep this close if not pull the major upset. Young can win a series by himself with his scoring and passing. The Hawks have other outside shooters and a pair of effective big men, John Collins and Clint Capela. Their talent level is right there with the Bucks. 

Atlanta has covered in 12 of its last 15 visits to Milwaukee.  

The point spread is too lopsided. It might not be this high again the rest of the series.
