The Milwaukee Bucks will travel to Madison Square Garden to take on the New York Knicks in the NBA on Saturday morning. The Knicks (3-4) are sixth in the Eastern Conference standings, while the Bucks (2-6) are 13th. Let’s jump into the match prediction. 

After a solid start to the season, the New York Knicks are now hoping to avoid a third consecutive defeat after losing to the Atlanta Hawks 121-116 on Thursday. 

Karl-Anthony Towns had one of his best outings, putting up 34 points, 16 rebounds and three blocks. Despite losing the match, New York hit 22 of 46 from beyond the arc.

The Knicks are middle of the pack at both ends this season, averaging 113.3 PPG (19th), while allowing 110.7 points per outing (12th). 

Meanwhile, following six consecutive defeats, the Milwaukee Bucks finally got back in the win column by beating the Utah Jazz 123-100 last night. 

Damian Lillard delivered a standout performance scoring 34 points and providing seven assists, while Giannis Antetokounmpo backed him up up 31 points. 

Still, beating a lowly Jazz that are unlikely to challenge for a playoff spot is far from an impressive result, and this matchup will give us a clearer indication if a comeback is on the cards for the Bucks.
