My 10* EASTERN-CONFERENCE NON-DIVISION TOTAL OF THE YEAR is on the under between the Hawks and the Bucks at 7:00 EST. The Hawks are 35-38 and they're barely holding on to the seventh spot in the East, just a half-game up on Orlando. Atlanta is coming off a 122-112 road loss at Miami, allowing the Heat to shoot 54 perecent from the floor. The Hawks will have to be better defensively here obviously to pull off the upset. Trae Young was once again a stand-out for Atlanta in the setback, finishing with 29 points. The Bucks trail the Pistons by 1.5 games for fifth spot. Milwaukee enters off a game it should have won as well, falling 116-107 to the Knicks. Giannis Antetokounmpo had 30 points, but like their counterparts this evening, a better defensive effort will be needed here to not suffer another letdown. I believe a competitive battle will lead to a defensive affair. The play is on the under.
