New York Knicks vs Milwaukee Bucks Prediction & Betting Tips - NBA
by Joseph King | in NBA Predictions
An Eastern Conference clash in the NBA sees the Milwaukee Bucks taking on the New York Knicks at the world’s most famous arena, Madison Square Garden. The Bucks will be looking to close the gap on the first-place Celtics as Milwaukee sits second in the East with a 14-5 record. A win over the Mavericks in their last game means the Bucks have now won two in a row and come into this game seeking their fifth consecutive victory over the Knicks. New York recorded a 30-point away win over Detroit in their last outing to move them to 10-11 on the season. They now face a sturdy test against the 2021 NBA champions as the Knicks kick off a four game home stand with this game against Milwaukee.

Milwaukee has won just five of their last 10 as the Celtics have opened up a two game lead in the Eastern Conference. The Bucks were able to string together two quality wins however, the first a 117-102 victory over the third-place Cavaliers which was preceded by a 124-115 win over MVP candidate Luka Doncic and the Mavs. Standing in their way is a Knicks team that just dropped 140 points on the Detroit Pistons in a 30-point blowout victory. New York remains below .500 at home this season with a record of just 4-5 at Madison Square Garden. The Bucks are just 3-3 on the road compared to their stellar 11-2 home record.

Our New York Knicks vs Milwaukee Bucks Prediction
We’re going to back the Milwaukee Bucks to win the game and cover the -5.5 point spread as our pick for this game. New York haven’t shown a noticeable advantage so far this season when playing on home court which should give the Bucks a significant edge despite only being .500 on the road this year. Giannis continues his incredibly consistent play and has stepped things up to another level in the past few games. Look for the Bucks’ run to continue as they should be able to make it three in a row and five straight against New York with a relatively comfortable win here.
All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
