The Atlanta Hawks (30-25) return home Thursday for a matchup with the Milwaukee Bucks (34-20). The Hawks swept a two-game road trip, winning games over the Charlotte Hornets and Toronto Raptors before returning to Atlanta. Heading into Thursday evening, this is a meeting between the third and fourth seeds in the Eastern Conference playoff race.
Milwaukee is just 5-5 in its last ten games, while Atlanta has won seven out of their last ten, including their last three in a row. The Bucks sit behind only the Philadelphia 76ers and Brooklyn Nets in the East standings, and will be a tough test for a streaking Hawks group who sits as the fourth seed.
