Quick turnaround from Saturday when the Bucks rolled 130-111 at MSG. Often in such scenarios we look at the team that lost the first meeting but hardly convinced that is the best course of action here considering some of the "straights" involved--such as seven straight wins for Milwaukee overall and nine straight in this series vs. New York. That result on Saturday also follows a similar 146-122 blowout at the IST on December 5. Tom Thiboudeau might simply not have any answers for this matchup after allowing the Bucks to hit 60% from the floor (61% beyond the arc) earlier in the weekend. Play Bucks
Jalen Brunson scored 36 points when the Knicks faced the Bucks on Saturday. They have played each other a total of three times this season. In the other two games, Brunson scored 45 and 24 points, respectively. In the game he scored just 24 points, he went 0-for-5 from behind the arc. That was not normal for him, given that he is shooting 46.2 percent on three-pointers this season. The Bucks have played at the fourth-fastest pace in the league, so look for Brunson to receive enough opportunities to hit this over.
