Milwaukee Bucks - New York Knicks: Form Analysis
The Milwaukee Bucks finished top in East Group B ahead of the Knicks who finished second. They won all four of their matches and will be out to keep their 100% record. Adrian Griffin’s men are one of the favourites to emerge victorious in this tournament and the end-season championship. They are currently on a seven-game winning streak against the Knicks and should be extremely confident of advancing to the semis. Wednesday’s hosts got back to winning ways over the weekend as they overcame the Hawks 132-121 at home. The win took their winning percentage to 0.7 and kept them in third place in the East, 1.5 games from top place. Milwaukee, who have won 12 of 18 against fellow East teams, are third in points per game with 121.1. Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard are the preliminary points getters and are averaging 29.9 and 25.5 points respectively. Jae Crowder remains sidelined with a groin problem while Pat Connaughton, who has been out with an ankle issue, is listed as questionable.
The New York Knicks are the best defensive team thus far in the league. Tom Thibodeau’s men are holding teams to a league-best 105.5 points per game. In their last three games, they have only allowed 103 points to their opponents. They will hope this robustness in defence allows them to snap this disappointing losing streak against the Bucks. New York has won its last three games. The latest is a 119-106 victory away to the Raptors which improved their record to 12-7 and kept them fifth in the East. The Knicks, who are 6-2 while on the road against East opposition, are averaging 110.9 points a game. This is the seventh-lowest points tally in the league. Jalen Brunson has contributed to 24.9 of those with Julius Randle putting up 20.4.

Milwaukee Bucks & New York Knicks Squad Analysis
The Bucks will continue to be without Jae Crowder who remains sidelined with a groin problem. Pat Connaughton, who has been out with an ankle issue, is listed as ‘Questionable’ and has missed the last two matches. Andre Jackson is also listed as ‘Questionable’ due to back complications.
The Knicks will arrive here at almost full strength but there is a possibility that Julius Randle will miss out. Randle is listed as ‘Questionable’ with a knee issue but did play the Knicks' last match for 35 minutes. The former Laker forward is New York’s second-highest scorer. He is also their top assists provider and is averaging a double-double with 10.2 rebounds.

Our Milwaukee Bucks vs New York Knicks Prediction
Our prediction for the Milwaukee Bucks v the New York Knicks is for the match to see under 223.0 points scored. Recent matches between these two teams haven’t been high-scoring affairs. Only once has any of the two sides gone past the 110 points mark in the last three meetings. The Knicks are also allowing the fewest points per game in the league and the Bucks are defending the paint better at home. This take is strengthened by the potential unavailability of the Knicks’ second-highest scorer Julius Randle.
Milwaukee Bucks vs New York Knicks - Other Interesting Predictions
Milwaukee Bucks to win
We pick the Bucks to win here as our second prediction. The Bucks have been dominant at home this season and have won nine of 10 games as hosts. They also have won seven straight against New York.
Giannis Antentokounmpo to score under 30.5 points
For our third and final prediction, we settle for Giannis Antentokounmpo to score under 30.5 points. The Bucks’ forward is their leading scorer and is averaging just under 30 points per game. He has averaged 23 points in his career against the Knicks and only once has he scored 30 or more against them. With the Knicks strong defensively, we are confident they can hold Giannis from having an impressive scoring night.
