Prediction
Hawks 113, Bucks 106
Money line (ML)
The HAWKS (-145) are up against it tonight and they'll be able to force a Game 7. It's especially helpful that Giannis is doubtful for the Bucks, although it sounds like there is a chance he comes back for a Game 7. Atlanta will force that decisive game back in Milwaukee with a win here.

Against the spread (ATS)
The HAWKS -2.5 (-110) spanked the Bucks last time they had a home game, winning 110-88 as 8.5-point underdogs. They catch a break with Milwaukee's best player in street clothes and it would be even nicer for them if Young is able to suit up. Roll the dice on the Hawks regardless of Young's health as Atlanta has surprised throughout these playoffs.
Over/Under (O/U)
OVER 216.5 (-110) is the lean here even with Giannis doubtful. Atlanta has averaged 111.0 PPG across the last two games, and they coughed up 123 points to the NBA's No. 1 scoring team in Game 5. The Bucks proved they have plenty of offensive weapons even if Antetokounmpo isn't with them. The Over is worth a small-unit wager.
