Milwaukee Bucks vs New York Knicks prediction

The New York Knicks should be up for this one after getting smacked by the Bucks a couple of days ago, and MSG is usually jumping on Christmas. However, we’re getting another soft number with the Bucks, given their 7 game winning streak and their dominance over the Knicks. The Bucks have won 9 of the last 10 meetings against the Bucks and are 7-1-2 ATS in those games as well. I’d need more points to consider the Bucks here. Give me the Bucks and the soft line, just like Saturday.
