Sunday afternoon in the NBA sees the New York Knicks hosting the Milwaukee Bucks at Madision Square Garden. The Knicks come into this contest sitting third in the East standings with a 25-14 record while the 20-16 Bucks are currently placed fourth. Read on for our match prediction!

New York will be desperate to bounce back following a demoralizing 126-101 loss at home to the Thunder on Friday night. The Knicks were completely dominated from start to finish in what could have been a statement victory, but instead turned out to be an incriminating loss.

The Knicks have now dropped to 0-5 against teams with a better record than them and 1-6 against the league’s top eight teams. The defeat to OKC marked the fourth in the last five outings for New York.

While the Knicks have been on a downward slope, their opponents come to town riding a three-game winning streak. A close 109-106 away victory over the fifth-place Orlando Magic on Friday marked only the eighth away win of the season for the Bucks.

After a slow start to the season, Milwaukee has now posted an 18-8 record in the last 60 days. The Bucks have relied on a notably improved defense when compared to last year. The visitors have allowed just 105.0 points per game during their current winning streak.
