The Milwaukee Bucks are homebound at last. The Bucks just wrapped up a six-game road trip on the West Coast. Thanks to some strong performances on the road, Milwaukee is now sitting in sixth place in the Eastern Conference.
Unbelievably, Milwaukee could move even farther up than that. The Atlanta Hawks are currently fifth in the East, and they’re visiting the Bucks on Friday night. Atlanta is just one game ahead of the Bucks, meaning a Milwaukee victory would tie the teams in record.
The Bucks would need to gain a game on the Hawks to actually claim the fifth seed though, as Atlanta is 3-0 against the Bucks thus far this season.
