ATLANTA HAWKS LOWDOWN

Atlanta Hawks levelled the series with Milwaukee Bucks thanks to a superb victory in game 4. That success came without Trae Young who was ruled out with a foot injury and the Hawks could be boosted by his return here, although he will be a game-time decision. The Hawks were superb in the 88-110 victory and they will look to build on that as they head on the road.

MILWAUKEE BUCKS LOWDOWN

Milwaukee Bucks’ hopes of advancing to the NBA finals are hanging by a thread after key man Giannis Antetokounmpo exited game 4 with a knee injury. He will be assessed before this fifth contest but the Bucks’ chances without him would be significantly impacted despite boasting home court advantage for this clash. Milwaukee have won 14 of their last 15 games at Fiserv Forum but that run may mean little if Antetokounmpo cannot suit up.

ATLANTA HAWKS @ MILWAUKEE BUCKS PREDICTION

Atlanta Hawks tied the series at two goals apiece with Milwaukee Bucks but perhaps more importantly than the victory in game 4 was the injury picked up by the influential Giannis Antetokounmpo. His potential absence could prove to be a pivotal moment in the series, especially with Trae Young potentially returning from his foot injury in this fifth contest. The Bucks are very difficult to beat on home court but the Hawks have already defeated them once on the road this series and if Antetokounmpo is out, Atlanta look a solid pick with the aid of a +4.5 start.
