New York Knicks vs Milwaukee Bucks Prediction
The New York Knicks have been good ATS in the road underdog role dating back to last season, but I’d need more points to consider them here. The Milwaukee Bucks are playing their best ball of the season as they adjust to the addition of Lillard, and they’ve won 7 straight games against the Knicks. That includes a 5-point win on November 3. The Bucks have not only won 8 of their last 10 games overall, and they’ve covered 7 of these 10 games. I’ll side with H2H history and lay the chalk with the Bucks at home.
