How to watch Giannis Antetokounmpo vs. Trae Young: Bucks vs. Hawks start time, TV channel, live stream image

The Milwaukee Bucks travel to Atlanta to take on the Hawks for their fourth meeting of the season.

Atlanta is 2-1 vs. Milwaukee in 2022-23 and looks to claim the season series on their home floor, where they hold an 11-8 record, while the Bucks are 10-9 on the road. 

To do so, they'll have to contain an in-form Giannis Antetokounmpo, who is averaging 31.7 points, 11.8 rebounds, and 5.2 assists for the Bucks, who have won three of their last four games to sit at 26-14, good for third in the East standings.

That task becomes even harder with star guard Trae Young set to miss tonight's contest. Can the Hawks contain Giannis at home? Or Will the Bucks continue their winning ways on the road?

Here is everything you need to know about Bucks vs. Hawks, including TV and streaming options for the game.

Is Trae Young playing tonight?

Young is averaging 27.5 points and 9.8 assists for the Hawks, who sit ninth in the East at 19-21.
