This is a 10* TOP SUNDAY SIDE on the Hawks.

I like the Hawks to bounce back here in Game 3 on their own floor.

So far this series has been one about not "over-reacting." The Hawks easily won Game 1 by a score of 116-113. It seemed like ATL had all the momentum.

Then the Bucks easily won Game 2 by a score of 125-91. Let's not be so quick this time to assume that momentum has now swung in favor of Milwaukee.

The Bucks have been consistently inconsistent throughout the playoffs. Especially with their performances on the road. So far in the post-season, it's been the Hawks who have almost always responded well after a losing effort.

In all reality though, Atlanta absolutely accomplished what it wanted to in Milwaukee, and that's to simply earn a "split."

The Hawks are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 in trying to revenge a road loss against an opponent in which they were held to 95 points or less in.

I believe Nate McMillan can continue to make adjustments here and throw something new at Milwaukee tonight.

And while I do think the outright win is possible, in the end I'm going to recommend grabbing as many points as you can.

The play is Atlanta.

Good luck, NP
