Milwaukee Bucks vs Atlanta Hawks Picks and Predictions March 30th 2025

Bucks Host Hawks in Crucial Finale for Season Series

The Milwaukee Bucks and Atlanta Hawks clash Sunday night for the fifth and final time this season, a matchup that not only decides the season series but may also impact playoff seeding. With both teams having split their previous four meetings — including an NBA Cup matchup — this is the tiebreaker, and the stakes are real.

Milwaukee (42-35) currently sits sixth in the Eastern Conference, clinging to the last guaranteed playoff spot, while Atlanta (35-40) hovers near the play-in range. This game is more than a finale — it’s a postseason pivot point.

Hawks: Fighting Through Injuries and Pushing the Pace

The Atlanta Hawks continue to battle despite a growing injury list. Clint Capela, Jalen Johnson, Larry Nance Jr., and Kobe Bufkin are out. Still, the Hawks rank second in pace and top three in steals and deflections — a testament to their high-energy style of play.

Trae Young, averaging 24.1 points and 11.4 assists, continues to lead the charge. Big man Onyeka Okongwu is doing his best to hold down the paint in Capela’s absence, posting 13.1 points and 8.7 rebounds per game.

Bucks: Giannis and the Rise of Ryan Rollins

The Milwaukee Bucks have been without Damian Lillard due to deep vein thrombosis, and while that’s a huge loss, it’s opened the door for Ryan Rollins to shine. Rollins has posted consecutive career-highs, including 20 points against the Knicks, and is becoming a surprise weapon off the bench.

Giannis Antetokounmpo continues to be a monster, averaging 30.2 points and 12 rebounds. Brook Lopez adds elite rim protection with 1.9 blocks per game, and the Bucks’ offense remains efficient, ranking among the top five in FG% and top three in 3P%.

But their downfall lately? Turnovers and offensive boards — issues that cost them in a loss to New York on Friday.

Season Series: All Square at 2-2

These two teams have met four times, with each side taking two games. The last battle saw the Bucks edge out the Hawks 127-121, led by a triple-double from Giannis and a double-double from Kyle Kuzma.

A win for Atlanta would not only give them the series win, but also the head-to-head tiebreaker — an edge that could be crucial if the Eastern standings tighten in the final stretch.
