TOP PICK

WIN
Bucks vs. Hawks
CJ McCollum Over 17.5 Points
ANALYSIS
With primary scoring markets favoring 'Unders' for other stars, our choice is bolstered by the confirmed absence of Jonathan Kuminga and the questionable status of Dyson Daniels, which forces high usage onto McCollum. He previously cleared this 17.5 line against Milwaukee on March 4 and benefits from an Atlanta system currently operating at the NBA's fastest pace over the last five games.
Key Data
McCollum averages 22.1 career PPG against Atlanta; Hawks rank bottom-5 in defensive efficiency against backcourt players.
OUTCOME
Atlanta Hawks 122 - Milwaukee Bucks 99
CJ McCollum scored 30 points in the game on March 14, 2026, which is well above the prop line of 17.5 points. He shot 10-of-18 from the field, including 7-of-10 from three-point range, and 3-of-4 from the free-throw line.
