Atlanta Hawks vs Milwaukee Bucks: Injury Reports, Predicted Lineups and Starting 5s - March 9th, 2022 | NBA Season 2021-22
The Defending champions Milwaukee Bucks will host the Atlanta Hawks in a rematch of last season's Eastern Conference Finals.
The Bucks (41-25) are third in the Eastern Conference standings, having won six of their last ten games, including their last five. They are 23-12 at home this season, with most of their struggles coming on the road. Despite their indifferent start to the season, the Bucks are only three games behind the East-leading Miami Heat (44-22) as they seek to clinch home-court advantage in the postseason.
Meanwhile, the Hawks (33-31) have had a tumultuous campaign. They are 10th in the Eastern Conference and have won just five of their last ten games. They continue to hover below 0.500 and hope to get their campaign back on track with a win against the defending champions.
