Bucks vs. Hawks prediction, odds, spread, line, over/under and betting info for Game 2
By John Buhler
Here is the latest betting odds for Atlanta Hawks at Milwaukee Bucks Game 2 on Friday.
After stealing Game 1 of the 2021 Eastern Conference Finals, the oddsmakers are still not giving the Atlanta Hawks any respect entering Game 2 on Friday night vs. the Milwaukee Bucks.
Atlanta won its third straight Game 1 on the road this postseason by besting the Bucks, 116-113. The Hawks were led by point guard Trae Young in his magnificent 48-point performance in his conference finals debut. This is a must-win for the Bucks if they want to keep this best-of-seven alive for much longer. If you think Atlanta takes Game 2, the betting odds should be in your favor.
Here is all the betting info you will need for Hawks at Bucks Game 2. Odds are from WynnBET.
Atlanta Hawks at Milwaukee Bucks: Game 2 betting odds
Point Spread: Bucks -8.5
Moneylines: Bucks -400, Hawks +275
Over/Under: 225
Despite dropping Game 1 at home, the Bucks will be laying 8.5 points to the visiting Hawks in Game 2 on Friday night. The associated moneylines for this game are the Bucks at -400 and the Hawks at +275. The over/under for Game 2 comes in at a combined 225 points. Had these betting odds been in place in Game 1, Atlanta would have won, covered and the over would have hit.
Even if Atlanta already accomplished what it needed to in the first two games of this series by stealing Game 1, expect the Hawks to put forth a better Game 2 effort than they did in their previous series vs. the New York Knicks and the Philadelphia 76ers. Milwaukee will find a way to win, but it is not going to be by more than 8.5 points. Atlanta covers, as the under hits in Game 2.
Expect this best-of-seven series to be all tied up at a game apiece heading into Game 3 in Atlanta.
Prediction: Bucks 113, Hawks 107
