The Bucks vs Hawks 2021 playoff series will be the first time that Young (in the playoffs) has to face both an offensive and defensive threat on the opposite side of the ball, and I believe his defense is going to be exposed badly. Holiday is not only great at shooting the ball, but he’s an amazing passer as well, so with Young having to worry about both the shot and the pass, a problem that was clearly not there with Rose or Simmons. Jrue had two rough games at the end of the Nets series, but he made the shots when it counted for the team to advance. Bucks vs Hawks picks and parlays will be highly reliant on Holiday for the production needed to cover the spread.

Inconsistency From Hawks Bench

Bucks vs Hawks last game in the regular season resulted in a victory for the Hawks and that was due to the Hawks bench putting up buckets when needed. A lot of people who have watched Game 7 of the Hawks vs 76ers series believe that the Hawks have a much better bench unit than the Bucks and I’m here to tell you that is not really the case. Yes, Danilo Gallinari, Lou Williams, and the 76ers killer himself,Kevin Huerter all sound like really solid bench guys on paper, but they have played wildly inconsistent in the playoffs. Kevin Huerter is overrated off recency basis, and some of his poor games this series shows it. He had a game with 0 points, one with 3 points, and another with 10. His scoring depends on the night and if he’s off, Gallinari could pick up the slack; however, he’s also been ineffective at times. Out of the 12 playoff games the Hawks have played, Gallinari has scored under 9 points in 5 of those games, and it goes to show yet again, that there is some hesitance to fully believe in this Hawks bench.
