The Hawks sit at 31 wins and 31 losses, holding 10th place, and they're chasing a fifth straight victory. The Bucks are 26 and 34, mired in a three-game skid. Earlier this week, Atlanta crushed the Portland Trailblazers 135-101 on Sunday. Meanwhile, Milwaukee got routed by the Boston Celtics 108-81 on Monday. The Hawks are solid on the road at 17 and 15, while the Bucks are 14 and 15 at home. Injury news could shake things up, with Milwaukee's Kevin Porter Jr. out due to a knee issue, and Atlanta's Jonathan Kaminga listed as questionable. With his own knee problem, fans are buzzing about the playoff implications, as both teams jockey for play in spots this late in the season.
