The Milwaukee Bucks are a perfect 9-0 on the season, and it’s even scarier when you realize that Khris Middleton and Pat Connaughton have yet to play in a game.

Finals contenders anyone?

Milwaukee is a three-point road favorite against the Atlanta Hawks on Monday, and it’s going to bring me back to my favorite trend in the NBA…

The Atlanta Hawks have not covered in 40 straight losses!

If you’re going to bet on Atlanta tonight, bet it to win outright as a home dog. Here are the latest odds:

Bucks vs. Hawks Prediction and Pick

I’m not going to buck the crazy Hawks trend, and instead I’m going to back Milwaukee to cover on the road. 

The Bucks are already 8-1 against the spread this season, and they enter this game with the best defensive rating in the NBA. If there is a guard that can handle the assignment of Trae young, it's probably Bucks star Jrue Holiday. 

The Hawks have been solid this season with Dejounte Murray and Young leading the way, but I’m not sure they’ll have an answer for Giannis Antetokounmpo down low in this game. 

The Bucks are dominating on defense and Giannis continues to score at will, posting a triple-double in his last game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. 

Atlanta (15th in net rating) isn't’ stopping the Bucks tonight.
