The Hawks game is important. Win and they are 5.5 games clear of the Hawks (who are the 4th seed right now) with 17 games to play. Because the Bucks won against them earlier this year, they'd also clinch the tiebreaker against them and really be 6.5 games clear of the 4th seed.
Lose and they are only 3.5 games up and would have one game left against the Hawks to decide the tiebreaker.
