The New York Knicks will host last year’s champions Milwaukee Bucks at Madison Square Garden. While the Knicks have pleasantly surprised (7-4) this season, the visitors have gotten off to a disappointing start (4-6). The meeting will start at 00:30 UK time.
Possible line-ups for the match:
New York Knicks:
G – Kemba Walker; G – Evan Fournier; F – RJ Barrett; F – Julius Randle; C – Taj Gibson.
Milwaukee Bucks:
G – Jrue Holiday; G – Grayson Allen; F – Pat Connaughton; F – Giannis Antetokounmpo; C – Bobby Portis.
New York Knicks:
The New York Knicks have not been looking good at home recently. Fans have been waiting for their favorite team to win, as the Knicks last time won at Madison Square Garden back in October. Then they defeated the Philadelphia 76ers (112-99). Thibodeau’s team lost to the Toronto Raptors (104-131) and Cleveland Cavaliers (109-126).

In the last game, the Knicks had a 103-96 road win over the Philadelphia 76ers. Julius Randle’s 31 points and R.J. Barrett’s 15 points helped the Knicks to get a win. The result put Thibodeau’s team in fifth place in the East Conference standings.
Milwaukee Bucks:
The Milwaukee Bucks finally managed to break their losing streak. In their last game, the Bucks defeated the Philadelphia 76ers (118-109) on the road. In that meeting, Antetokounmpo received good support from his teammates. One of them was Grayson Allen. The 26-year-old scored 25 points, two rebounds, and three assists.
“It was good to come out of this with a win.”

It should be noted that the Milwaukee Bucks have had a rough start to the season. The Bucks have already lost six games. That puts them in ninth place in the Eastern Conference standings. Not the best result for the champions.

New York Knicks vs Milwaukee Bucks Tips:
The Bucks defeated the Philadelphia 76ers, but the 76ers played without Joel Embiid. Now the Bucks will face a stronger opponent. The Bucks will likely play without Middleton again. In that case, it won’t be easy to oppose the Knicks. After all, the Knicks have all of their key players on the squad.
We don’t think the Bucks will be able to come away with a second consecutive win. The win will probably go to the home team.
Our first prediction and bet is the Knicks’ win with the odds of 1.68 with the VBet bookmaker.
Both teams put a lot of emphasis on defense. It is possible that one of them will fail to score many points.
Our second prediction is total match points under 215.5 with the odds of 1.67 with the VBet bookmaker.
