This Total has obviously been set too low when you look at how these teams have played each other in the past. The OVER is 8-0 in the last 8 meetings, with the lowest combined score during this stretch at 193 points. The Hawks and Bucks have combined to score 200 or more points in 6 of their last 8 meetings. So as you can see, there is some serious value with this OVER tonight.

Atlanta is 25-7 to the OVER after 1 or more consecutive unders this season. The Bucks are 27-12 to the OVER when playing against a good team (Win Pct. 60% to 70%) over the last 3 seasons. More recently, the OVER is 7-0 in Bucks last 7 vs. a team with a winning S.U. record. The OVER is also 14-3 in Hawks last 17 games following a S.U. win. With Andrew Bogut out for Milwaukee, they’ve had to sacrifice some defense and go with a smaller line-up while trying to get up and down the floor. Bogut was an excellent shot blocker, and without him inside the Hawks should dominate the paint all game long and score at will. Milwaukee will be able to get out in transition, though. Bet the OVER.
