Hawks Play Host to Bucks on Sunday
The Milwaukee Bucks travel to Georgia to play the Atlanta Hawks at State Farm Arena on Sunday.

The Bucks (57-19) come into this matchup winning four-straight games, as they've all but locked up the best record in the NBA. With just six games remaining, Milwaukee owns a four-game lead on the Toronto Raptors in second. No Western Conference is even close and the Bucks need just two wins to lock up homecourt throughout the postseason. Having homecourt for this club would be a huge advantage too, with the Bucks owning a 32-6 record at Fiserv Forum this season. This is simply the best team in basketball at this point and it's going to be tough to beat them in any seven-game series. With that said, Giannis Antetokounmpo comes into this matchup questionable and it would be surprising to see him suit up with bigger goals in the Bucks future.

The Hawks (27-49) come into this matchup winning three of their last four games, as they've seen some of the biggest development of any team this season. While the record doesn't show that, it's a simple fact that these youngsters are getting better. Trae Young and John Collins have been incredible, with both players looking like potential future all-stars. That's all you can ask for from your top picks and this franchise appears to be in great hands for the coming years. What they do need to work on is their defense though, with Atlanta ranking dead-last in points allowed for the majority of the season.

This is the third of four meetings between these teams, with Milwaukee winning the first two matchups. In fact, both games were decided by 19 points or more, with Milwaukee averaging nearly 140 points per game.
