The Atlanta Hawks have won three straight games against teams with poor records. Now they get to test their confidence against a contender when they travel to Milwaukee for a game against the Bucks on Sunday.

Atlanta's surge includes two wins against Minnesota and one against Detroit, a pair of three-win teams who are last in their respective conferences. The Hawks have pushed their record over .500, lead the Southeast Division and are sixth in the Eastern Conference.

But Milwaukee is a veteran team -- its starting lineup averages nine years of experience -- and the Bucks are tied for second place in the Eastern Conference, even though they've lost two in a row.
