Bucks vs Hawks Game 6 Pick Against the Spread
The Eastern Conference finals are entertaining, to say the least. Superstars Trae Young and Giannis Antetokounmpo have both missed time bot role players like Lou Williams and Bobby Portis Jr have answered the call. It is difficult to make a Bucks vs Hawks Game 6 pick against the spread without all of the injury information. Luckily the speculation is out there.

Giannis Do Not Pass Go
The injury reports always change leading up to tip-off and everything up to this point suggests that Giannis will not play again in the ECF for the Bucks.
UPDATE: There is a growing sense of optimism within the Bucks organization that Giannis Antetokounmpo could return at some point in the playoffs, a source has told @jajareetz and me.

That is something that is concerning for Milwaukee, despite how well they played in the last game at home. Â At this time reports suggest that the Hawks Trae Young will be a game-time decision.
Odds and Trends
The Hawks are at home for this Saturday night “win-or-go-home” game and they are listed as -2 point favorites at the sportsbooks. This is clearly because the sportsbooks believe that Giannis is not playing. It will make sense that Milwaukee will hold him out, in case there is a game seven.
The basketball betting trends suggest that this is a good spot for Atlanta. The Bucks are just 2-9 against the spread (ATS) as an underdog and 1-6 ATS as a road underdog. The Hawks excel at home cashing in at an 18-3 ATS clip as a home favorite.

The trends may say otherwise, but Atlanta is in trouble. If Young plays he will not be at 100 percent. The Bucks revealed a new way to play in the last game without Giannis. Although they are now playing in Atlanta, the results won’t change. The Hawks have no answer for Brook Lopez. Lopez will not be able to repeat his incredible 33-point performance, but it will change the way the Hawks play defense.
That will open up lanes and jump shots for Khris Middleton and Jrue Holiday who are playing with inspired confidence. The Bucks have covered 5 of the last 7 meetings in Atlanta. The Hawks put up a fight early, but the Bucks win and advance to the NBA Finals.
