The Atlanta Hawks will look to extend their season-long eight-game winning streak as they host the Milwaukee Bucks on Saturday afternoon.

Atlanta handled Milwaukee on the road recently, and I’m taking it to cover again at home in my Bucks vs. Hawks predictions.

Let’s dive further into today’s matchup with my free NBA picks for Saturday, March 14.

Bucks vs Hawks prediction

Bucks vs Hawks best bet: Hawks -9.5 (-110)


The Atlanta Hawks are not just riding an eight-game winning streak, but they’ve also gone 7-1 against the spread in that span. The Atlanta offense is averaging 122.9 ppg during its current winning streak, while holding five opponents to 104 points or fewer in that span.

At the same time, the Milwaukee Bucks are scuffling, having lost seven of their last eight. That includes a 131-113 win for the Hawks against the Bucks in Milwaukee last week.

Atlanta should have at least as much success at home tonight, which is why I’m taking the Hawks to cover.

Ed Scimia has been writing about the gaming industry for over 15 years. He graduated from Syracuse University with degrees in Magazine Journalism and Political Science in 2003, and has covered major gambling events like the World Series of Poker in his career. Since joining Covers in 2022, Ed has offered his sports betting analysis primarily on MLB, NFL, college football, and college basketball games, but is willing to take on any sport.

His betting strategy focuses more on finding line value based on deviations from the market rather than traditional handicapping, primarily shopping between DraftKings, FanDuel, and Fanatics in his home state of Connecticut, though he’s not afraid to do deep game analysis to find profitable bets at any book.

Outside of gambling, Ed is an avid curler who competes in mixed doubles on the World Curling Tour and runs a popular curling YouTube channel, Chess on Ice. That experience has come in handy during the Olympics, when he has proven to be a successful curling bettor as well. 

Ed's advice to new bettors is to always open multiple sportsbook accounts and check the odds at each before placing any bet. Successful sports betting is about consistently beating the closing line value, which requires finding spots where one book is offering odds far better than the rest of the market and jumping on those opportunities.
