Milwaukee Bucks: 3 things to know ahead of clash against Atlanta Hawks

Playoff implications galore as Milwaukee Bucks wrap up season series against Hawks

As the Bucks look to go for the season sweep over the Hawks, one can only wonder whether this will be the final matchup between both sides.

The Hawks go into Sunday night’s game as the fifth seed in the East and one game ahead of the sixth-seeded Boston Celtics. The path for the Hawks to finish above sixth is certainly in play. Per Tankathon, the Hawks have the ninth-easiest strength of schedule as they have a 48.3 opponent win percentage over their final 12 games of the regular season.

Meanwhile, the Bucks are sitting quite comfortable as the third seed in the East, though they have certainly made plenty of headway to make a final push and improve their playoff positioning. With 13 games left in their season, the Bucks have a 45.9 opponent win percentage, which is the seventh-easiest strength of schedule.

With a few more weeks remaining this regular season, we’ll see how it all shakes out. But it would be something for the Bucks to meet against this Hawks team, given the storylines that could emerge in regards to Bogdanovic in particular.
