NBA FREE BETTING TIP: Milwaukee Bucks vs New York Knicks

Details:

The defending champions Milwaukee Bucks are having a difficult season as they are sixth in the Eastern Conference with a 30-20 record. At first sight, that seems pretty bad but the Bucks are actually only two wins shy of the leading Miami Heat.

The Bucks are coming off a 115-99 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers. Giannis Antetokounmpo scored 26 points after missing a game with knee soreness but had seven of Milwaukee's 19 turnovers that led to 31 points for Cleveland. Bobby Portis added 22 points and Khris Middleton 21 for the Bucks, who had their winning streak stopped at three.

The Bucks are 19-16 in Eastern Conference games. Milwaukee ranks sixth in the Eastern Conference with 12.4 fast break points per game led by Antetokounmpo averaging 4.2.

The Knicks have fallen to 11th place in the East and their playoff hopes are fading away. They have lost 5 of the last 6 games and if they didn't pick up their form right away, this will be another disappointing season for the Knicks fans.

They are coming off a 110-96 loss to the Miami Heat. Obi Toppin scored 18 points and RJ Barrett 17 for the Knicks.

The Knicks are 14-20 in conference play. New York ranks second in the Eastern Conference with 11.1 offensive rebounds per game led by Mitchell Robinson averaging 3.5.

Key facts

• The Bucks have won 7 of the last 10 against the Knicks
• The Knicks have won the last two times they played in Milwaukee
• Lindell Wigginton, Wesley Matthews and Brook Lopez are out for the Bucks
• Derrick Rose, Nerlens Noel and Ryan Arcidiacono are out for the Knicks

The Milwaukee Bucks lost the last time the Knicks paid a visit but that will not be the case this time. Giannis Antetokounmpo is playing on an MVP level and with Jrue Holiday and Khris Middleton getting back to 100%, this Bucks team will go only in one direction and that is up on the standings. RJ Barrett is the only good player at the moment for the Knicks as Julius Randle has struggled just like Evan Fournier. This will be a game in which the Bucks will dominate from tip-off and will finish with a comfortable win.
