Teams Preview

Milwaukee Bucks

Milwaukee Bucks won their last match against the Cleveland Cavaliers by 2 points (118-116). Kevin Porter Jr. led Milwaukee with 20 points, and Ryan Rollins added 18. The Bucks held off a short-handed Cleveland squad. Porter sealed the victory with a free-throw line jumper with 20.2 seconds remaining to put the Bucks up 118-116, as Cleveland’s last-second basket was waved off after time expired.

The Bucks enter this matchup with some positive momentum, having won two in a row, though they remain well below .500 on the season. Without Giannis, the team has had to rely on collective scoring and hustle plays to stay competitive. 

Their three-point shooting is one of their strengths, ranking 1st in the league in three-point percentage. On their home court at Fiserv Forum, they can be a difficult team to deal with, especially when Porter Jr. and Rollins are in rhythm. However, the Knicks present a serious challenge with their balanced offense and strong defensive unit.

The Bucks on average score 113.3 points per game, shoot 48.5% from the field and are ranked 4th in the league, and 39.5% from the arc and are ranked 1st in the league. The Bucks grab 40.5 rebounds per game and are ranked 30th in the season.

New York Knicks

In their last match against the Cavaliers, the Knicks lost by 15 points (94-109). Jalen Brunson scored 20 points and Mikal Bridges added 18 for New York. New York shot 35 of 86 as Bridges and Brunson were a combined 12 of 36. 

The Knicks shot 27% from 3-point range (10 of 37).It was the worst shooting quarter by the Knicks since they went 3 of 20 in the fourth quarter of a 2018 game against Boston. Cleveland dominated the third quarter, outscoring New York to pull away for good.

The Knicks come in as the clear favourite on paper. With one of the league’s most potent offenses and a 37-22 record, they have the star power and depth to handle this matchup on the road. Jalen Brunson is one of the premier shot creators in the East, and Karl-Anthony Towns gives them a dominant frontcourt presence. 

Their three-point efficiency and rebounding edge make them dangerous on both ends. Even after a rough shooting night against Cleveland, New York remains a formidable opponent capable of scoring in bunches.

The Knicks on average score 119.7 points per game, shoot 47.3% from the field and are ranked 9th in the league, and 38.3% from the arc and are ranked 4th in the league. The Knicks grab 45.8 rebounds per game and are ranked 5th in the season.
