The Bucks will face Atlanta today on a very accessible scenario for the team, which makes me think that this spread of 3 points will be easily reached. The team concluded last Monday a road trip in the West where they faced three very powerful teams in the offense: Lakers, Phoenix and Utah, three times that have a combined record of 74 wins and 40 losses. The team was capable of covering the spreads in the first two games and against Utah they ended the 3rd quarter in the lead by 72-71, being then outscored in the 4th quarter by 27-15. The team is in good shape and before the road trip they had won 4 of their last 5 games, always showing a very balanced attack. In the road trip, they had at least 4 players scoring 10 or more points in every game.

Today the Bucks will face Atlanta, who is being terrible on the road this season. Curiously, the last time the Bucks had a road trip, in their homecoming, they defeated Orlando by 100-86, being the underdog of the match by 5,5 points. The team has already showed that they can quickly adapt to the home factor, having a home record of 10-5 SU.

For Atlanta this will be a b2b game and also their 3rd game in 4 days! Yesterday they defeated Denver by 104-93, taking advantage of the fact the match was a b2b game for Denver, after a pretty intense contest against the Bobcats the night before. Today the scenario is similar, but for Atlanta. Against Denver, the Hawks had a strong start winning the 1st quarter by 34-22 and that had to be considered as normal, as Denver wasn't ready for the energy of Atlanta, but curiously they let Denver cameback into the match and they didn't lose because Iverson was ejected down the stretch! The funniest part was that Iverson, JR Smith and Carmelo had a combined effort of 84 of the 93 points the team scored! That's 90%! When Iverson got ejected, the team wasn't able to find an answer for this problem and that's something it won't happen with the Bucks. Remember the balanced attack I told you a couple of sentences ago?

The Bucks have won 5 of the last 6 games at home against Atlanta, having defeated them already this season at home when Atlanta was also playing a b2b and that match was their 3rd game in 4 games. A deja vu! Take the Bucks in their return to the victory road today.
