The Milwaukee Bucks aren’t in the best run of form as of now. After a second successive loss against the Lakers, multiple questions have crept in regarding the Bucks’ credibility as contenders. Can they silence their critics with a win?

The Atlanta Hawks, on the other hand, have regained their form the start of the regular season. They are in a three win streak despite facing minor injury concerns. They will look to continue their streak in the next game.

The Bucks face off against the Hawks tonight at 8:00 PM EST. Let’s take a look at the two side’s expected lineups and injury updates prior to this Sunday night clash.

Milwaukee Bucks injury updates and lineup prediction

The Bucks suffered from their second successive loss as they were dismantled by champions Los Angeles Lakers in a 113-106 loss. Their talisman, Giannis Antetokounmpo, had a dreadful night against the Lakers as he had a career high nine turnovers in the game.

It seems like the Bucks haven’t changed much since their disappointing playoff run as they continue to struggle against quality opposition like the Lakers or the Nets.

The Bucks have a fully fit roster available against the Hawks. They will hope that they can comeback to winning ways against the in-form Hawks side.

Atlanta Hawks injury updates and lineup prediction

The Atlanta Hawks have finally found some consistency as they have won their last three games. After slipping to a 5-7 record, the Hawks find themselves as the seventh seed in the Western Conference with a record of 8 wins and 7 losses.

Much of it has to do with their young star Trae Young. The 22-year-old had been in a slump for the majority of this month has turned it around in the last three games as he averaged 33.6 points, 9.3 assists and 5.3 rebounds per game.

For the upcoming games against the Bucks, the Hawks will be missing two players. New signing Bogdan Bogdanovic is out against the Bucks with a leg injury while guard Kris Dunn is out with an ankle injury. Trae Young is also questionable against the Bucks.

The Hawks will look to maintain their winning streak and will hope to defeat an Eastern Conference juggernaut in Milwaukee Bucks.

Predicted Lineup

Trae Young (G)

Kevin Huerter (G)

De’Andre Hunter (F)
