Game Preview

The Bucks finally snapped a six-game losing streak with a win over the Utah Jazz, 123-100. This was one of the nastiest stretches a Wisconsin franchise has experienced in the last few years, and it is why they sit near the bottom of the Eastern Conference.

Damian Lillard led the way in this triumph with 34 points. Giannis posted a monstrous double-double with 31 buckets and 16 boards, while Bobby Portis entered off the bench to score 19 points.

The New York Knicks are 3-4 and not looking that great. They have lost their previous game, which was in Atlanta against the Hawks, 121-116. They’ve been properly introduced to the No.1 pick from this draft, Zacharie Risacher, who had 33 points.

Karl-Anthony Towns scored one point more, 34, and had 16 rebounds, but that wasn’t enough for his team to triumph. Jalen Brunson ended the night with 21 buckets, while Josh Hart added 14 with eight boards and assists.

Bucks vs. Knicks Head to Head

There have been five meetings last year between the two franchises. The Bucks won the opening three, and the Knicks the latter two, and the score is 3-2 for Milwaukee.

Bucks vs. Knicks Prediction

The Knicks will have the advantage of not only playing at home, but also being fresh ahead of this event. That’s why we pick them to triumph.
