Giannis Antetokounmpo is averaging 28.6 points and 11.6 rebounds while Khris Middleton is averaging 20.6 points and 5.4 assists.

The Knicks are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 road games and 5-1-1 ATS in their last 7 games overall. The Bucks are 14-5-1 ATS in their last 20 Saturday games and 10-4 ATS in their last 14 games playing on 0 days rest. The under is 4-1 in Knicks last 5 overall. The over is 6-1 in Bucks last 7 overall. The Knicks are 0-4-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings in Milwaukee and 1-6 ATS in the last 7 meetings.
The Milwaukee Bucks are obviously the better team here and will be eager for a bounce back showing after losing to the Celtics last night. However, the Knicks continue to get little respect from oddsmakers, as they have the rest advantage here and are a gritty team that doesn’t get blown out often. On the road, the Knicks lose by an average of just 2.2 points and they lose in the underdog role by an average of 2.8 points. As we’ve done a lot this season, give me the Knicks and the points.
