Bucks vs Knicks Injury Report

The Milwaukee Bucks will be without Jericho Sims and Damian Lillard. Giannis Antetokounmpo is questionable with a foot injury.

The Knicks will continue to be without Ariel Hukporti, Miles McBride, Jalen Brunson, and Cameron Payne.

Bucks vs Knicks Prediction

The Knicks have been hit or miss since the injury to Brunson, and their injury report hasn’t gotten better lately. The Bucks have also cooled off with losses in six of their last 10 games, and they’re already down Lillard, while Antetokounmpo is questionable. It’s hard to get behind either team with high confidence, but I’m going to lean toward the Knicks and the small chalk.

I want nothing to do with the Bucks if they’re down to their two best players. The Knicks are also 4-0 SU and ATS in the last four games against the Bucks. You should check the injury report before betting to see if Antetokounmpo is cleared, but at the time of this writing, I like the Knicks and the small chalk.
