Milwaukee Bucks vs New York Knicks Prediction
This line indicates to me that the Bucks will continue to be without Antetokounmpo. That’s bad news considering the Bucks are 2-8 SU and ATS in their last 10 games. The Bucks just can’t find easy offense and have scored fewer than 110 points in 5 of their last 8 games. The Knicks are coming off a successful road trip and return home, where they’re 8-1 SU. The last 10 winners between the Knicks and Bucks are 9-0-1 ATS. Obviously, make sure Antetokounmpo is out, but I’ll lay the points with the Bucks at the time of this writing.
