The New York Knicks look to bounce back after a 126-113 loss to the Clippers.
New York is 45-27 and sits third in the Eastern Conference. The Knicks are likely to finish either third or fourth in the standings. Recently, they have been playing .500 basketball, with plenty of high-scoring performances on offense.
Milwaukee is 40-32 and currently sixth in the Eastern Conference. The Bucks are likely safe from the play-in tournament and still have a chance to move up to the fourth seed. However, in this game, they will have to find a way to win without their two best players, Damian Lillard and Giannis Antetokounmpo.

Knicks vs. Bucks Predictions and Picks
The Knicks battle the Bucks in this Eastern Conference matchup. New York is 5-5 in its last ten games and 21-15 on the road. However, they have lost their last three road games, with their offense struggling away from Madison Square Garden, including two games where they scored under 100 points.
In their recent loss to the Clippers, New York built a 13-point lead in the first quarter but was outplayed the rest of the way. The Knicks still shot 50% from the field but lost due to a few extra three-pointers and free throws by the Clippers. Karl-Anthony Towns recorded a double-double with 34 points and 14 rebounds. New York could use more bench scoring and must be ready for contributions from Milwaukee's depth players.
The Bucks are 4-6 in their last ten games and have lost two in a row. They hold a strong 24-12 record at home. Despite missing key players, Milwaukee has still put up solid efforts against quality teams. Their defense remains strong, but the offense needs more support.
In their recent 127-117 loss to the Denver Nuggets, the Bucks trailed by 11 after the first quarter but cut the deficit to three by halftime. The statistics were fairly even across the board, and Milwaukee had seven players score in double figures. Brook Lopez led the team with 26 points, and the Bucks shot 51% from the field. Milwaukee needs a strong start on offense and continued depth scoring to secure a win.
Best Bet: Under 219.5
Both teams are heading to the playoffs and still have the potential to move up or down in the standings. The Knicks are looking to overcome their offensive struggles on the road, while the Bucks are adjusting their game plan without two of their best players. Milwaukee has been compensating for its lack of offensive depth with strong defense, which should be effective in what is expected to be a defensive battle against New York.
