Match Preview

Milwaukee Bucks

The Bucks have been up and down in recent weeks, having lost their last two games, including a 127-117 setback to the Denver Nuggets. With Damian Lillard sidelined indefinitely with a blood clot issue and Giannis Antetokounmpo not in uniform for their last game, Milwaukee could not keep pace with Denver.

Brook Lopez scored 26 points, his third straight game scoring 20+ points. Even at their current low point, Milwaukee is in position to earn an automatic playoff spot and will look to milk momentum in the wake of three straight home games on the horizon. But they have also dropped four straight meetings against the Knicks this season.

Projected Starting Lineup

• G: Kevin Porter Jr.

• G: Taurean Prince

• F: Kyle Kuzma

• F: Giannis Antetokounmpo (questionable)

• C: Brook Lopez

New York Knicks

The Knicks lost at home, 126-113, to the Los Angeles Clippers on Thursday, after leading early by as many as 13 points. Karl-Anthony Towns was the game's leading scorer with 34 points and also made 14 rebounds, but his contributions weren't enough to stop his teammates from melting down in the second and third quarters.

Towns will be tasked with carrying the load with Jalen Brunson still sidelined. The Knicks are third in the East and seem to be locked into that position, so this game could be a preview of a first-round playoff matchup.

Projected Starting Lineup

• G: Landry Shamet

• G: Josh Hart

• F: Mikal Bridges

• F: OG Anunoby

• C: Karl-Anthony Towns

Key Stats

• The Bucks has lost four consecutive meetings with New York.

• This season, New York is third in effective field goal percentage.

• Brook Lopez had 20+ points for the third game in a row.

• Karl-Anthony Towns has 51 double-doubles in his season.

  
  

Player Props

Karl-Anthony Towns Over 24.5 Points (-110)

Towns has been in a dominant form, including scoring 34 points against the Clippers. With Brunson sidelined, he will once again be the centerpiece of the Knicks’ offense.

Brook Lopez Over 18.5 Points (-105)

Lopez in Lillard’s absence has also stepped up, averaging more than 20 points over his last three games. Should Antetokounmpo miss another game, Lopez will have an expanded scoring role.

Final Prediction

Milwaukee has struggled lately, but being at home gives them the slightest of advantages. But this season, New York has had their number. Expect this to be a tight game, but the Knicks should pull through behind Towns.

Prediction: Knicks wins by 6 or more (New York +2.5)Total points: Over 224.5
