Prediction published on 11/8/24, 9:14 AM  by Tyler Doty | Modified on 11/8/24 at 9:14 AM in NBA Picks

The Knicks host the Bucks at Madison Square Garden for the NBA regular season. New York's start to the season has been difficult, with a mixed record of 3 wins and 4 losses. The team is still adapting, particularly with the arrivals of Karl-Anthony Towns and Mikal Bridges, whose integration into the team will take time. The Knicks are still finding their bearings and need to find a new dynamic to take full advantage of the talents of their recruits. It will take patience and hard work for this team to develop the necessary chemistry and gain cohesion.

Milwaukee has had a very difficult start to the season, losing 6 of its first 8 games. This alarming start raises questions for Doc Rivers' players. On a collective level, nothing seems to be working: the team lacks cohesion and commitment, giving the impression of playing without any real motivation. Although Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard are putting in good individual performances, this cannot compensate for the team's collective weaknesses, particularly on defense. The lack of defensive intensity weighs heavily, and the absence of chemistry in the game is a cause for concern. Solutions must be found quickly to halt this negative spiral.
