The Milwaukee Bucks visit the Atlanta Hawks on Monday, January 19, 2026, with both teams entering the matchup on three-game losing streaks. Tip-off is scheduled for 1:00 PM ET at State Farm Arena in Atlanta, marking the first meeting between the clubs this season.
Milwaukee arrives with a 17-24 record and has struggled on both ends of the floor during its recent slide. The Bucks are coming off a 101-119 loss to the San Antonio Spurs on January 15 and a 106-139 defeat against the Minnesota Timberwolves two days earlier.
Atlanta sits at 20-24 and is also searching for momentum after consecutive losses. The Hawks fell 106-132 to the Boston Celtics on January 17 and dropped a 101-117 loss at the Portland Trail Blazers on January 15.
From an injury standpoint, Milwaukee’s report is relatively light but still impactful. Alex Antetokounmpo is out due to a G League two-way assignment, while Taurean Prince remains sidelined following neck surgery.
Despite the absences, Milwaukee continues to rely heavily on Giannis Antetokounmpo, who is averaging 28.8 points, 9.5 rebounds, and 5.5 assists per game. Kevin Porter Jr. and Ryan Rollins have handled most of the backcourt creation, combining for over 33 points and 13 assists per night.
Atlanta’s injury report is significantly longer and could influence rotation decisions. Dyson Daniels is listed as questionable with a right ankle sprain, while Kristaps Porzingis is out due to left Achilles tendinitis and Zaccharie Risacher will miss the game with a left knee bone contusion.
The Hawks have also ruled out N’Faly Dante with a torn ACL, while several players — including RayJ Dennis, Nikola Djurisic, Caleb Houstan, Christian Koloko, and Asa Newell — are listed as questionable due to G League assignments or two-way status.
If Daniels is unable to play, Atlanta’s defensive pressure on the perimeter could suffer. Daniels averages 1.9 steals per game, and his availability is key against a Milwaukee backcourt that thrives in transition.
Offensively, the Hawks continue to lean on Jalen Johnson, who is posting 22.8 points, 10.1 rebounds, and 8.0 assists per game. Nickeil Alexander-Walker has provided consistent scoring on the wing, while Onyeka Okongwu anchors the interior with 16.4 points and 7.9 rebounds per contest.
