The Atlanta Hawks have dropped five games in a row and, on Thursday night, positive takeaways were few and far between on the heels of a lopsided home loss. Unfortunately, though, nothing becomes easier for the Hawks in the near future, as the team kicks off a six-game road trip on Saturday in Wisconsin against the Milwaukee Bucks.
When dealing with the Bucks, everything is viewed through the prism of Giannis Antetokounmpo and Atlanta’s challenge in containing the All-NBA forward is obvious. Elsewhere, though, the Hawks have health issues galore (including with Taurean Prince, who is listed as probable with right peroneal nerve irritation) and the roster invading Milwaukee in this spot is depleted to say the least.
