The Milwaukee Bucks will continue their current home stand as they’ll look for a ninth straight win with the Atlanta Hawks visiting Fiserv Forum.
The troubles of the Milwaukee Bucks’ first few games feel a lot more distant than a month ago, and Wednesday night will present an opportunity to push them even further to the back of the mind.
With the Atlanta Hawks visiting Milwaukee for the first time this season, the Bucks will have a chance to pick up their ninth consecutive win, and to continue their push at the top of the Eastern Conference.

Of course, the Bucks and Hawks met just a week ago in Atlanta, where Milwaukee prevailed for a 135-127 win.
On that occasion, Giannis Antetokounmpo and Eric Bledsoe combined for 61 points to ensure the Bucks saw off the threat posed by the young Hawks, which largely came from rookie De’Andre Hunter and continually rising star Trae Young.
With a record of 4-10, the Hawks haven’t been able to live up to the standard that many anticipated early on, and certainly haven’t been helped by John Collins‘ suspension.
Still, they pose a meaningful threat on any given night, and will need to be taken very seriously by the Bucks in this one.
With that considered, let’s look ahead to three things worth watching out for from Wednesday’s contest between the Bucks and Hawks.
