Knicks vs Bucks

The New York Knicks will host the Milwaukee Bucks for the second time this season on Monday night. Here's what you need to know ahead of the game.

Milwaukee is -116 on the moneyline and New York is -102. The New York-Milwaukee game won’t be available on national television, but it will be broadcast on MSG Network. The biggest challenge for New York will of course be to find a way to try to contain Antetokounmpo. Although New York is 0-2 against Milwaukee this season, the Bucks need to not overlook the Knicks as they are on a four-game win streak. A win against Milwaukee would be huge for New York as the team looks to build on its current win streak. The Knicks haven’t beaten the Bucks at the Garden since Dec.

The Milwaukee Bucks visit the New York Knicks on Monday night. We continue our NBA odds series with a Bucks-Knicks prediction and pick.

While he may not be efficient from deep (35%) he takes enough of them to keep the defense honest and create a lot of additional spacing. Just when it looked like their season was slipping away, the Knicks won eight straight games in early December. The Bucks have covered 54% of their games while 54% have gone over the projected point total. Giannis remains arguably the best player in the league and the Knicks have shown no signs of slowing him down in their prior matchups. The Knicks have covered 55% of their games while 51% have gone over. Five Bucks average at least 1.5 made threes per game, with point guard Jrue Holiday leading the way with 2.3 per game. They then proceeded to lose five in a row, but have since won four straight again. The Bucks are an excellent defensive team but struggle to find consistent offensive production. The Greek Freak ranks third in the NBA in both scoring (32 PPG) and rebounding (11.8 RPG). Although Giannis provides more than enough production to propel the Bucks to cover, he’ll need help if they want to avoid the same fate as Friday night. That being said, the one area the Bucks excel on offense is from three. He somehow takes things up a notch against the Knicks as he averaged 33.5 PPG, 13.5 RPG, and 8.0 APG in their two previous meetings.

We go over some of the best betting options for Monday's matchup between the Milwaukee Bucks and New York Knicks.

They’ll be ready to make a statement against the Knicks. The Bucks have hit the over in seven of their the last 10 games, while the Knicks have gone over in eight of their last 10. Milwaukee has won both meetings against the Knicks this season and despite the current funk the Bucks are in, they have the talent advantage as long as Giannis Antetokounmpo is in the game. The Knicks are on a four-game winning streak, most recently beating the Raptors. Khris Middleton remains out for the Bucks with a knee injury. Barrett is officially doubtful with a finger injury which has sidelined him for over a week now.

We've got plenty of action to cover with six games on the NBA slate tonight. However, four of the six games have at least seven points spreads.
