The set-up: Kawhi Leonard hasn't been playing for a while now, yet the Clippers are still finding ways to win. This is a bit of a different story with Trae Young being injured, as he's the team's leading scorer and he's been in the line-up every game since Day 1. Leonard has had issues for years and all season again. However, whether Young suits up or not, I believe that just like the Clippers last night, the way Atlanta is going to upset the Bucks is to push the pace and score some points.

The pick: Milwaukee will be out to do the same. If the Bucks can put up a big enough number in the first half, it could very well be enough to take out the remaining wind from the Hawks in the second. I expect each team to really push the pace in the FIRST HALF.

This is a 10* FIRST HALF PLAYOFF TOTAL OF THE YEAR on the OVER Bucks/Hawks.
