Key facts

• Obi Toppin will be out of the Knicks lineup
• Brook Lopez, Donte DiVincenzo and Sami Ojeleye are on the Bucks injury list
• The Bucks have won seven of the last ten games against the Knicks
• The Bucks have won three of the last four games at Madison Square Garden 

That something is wrong with the Knicks was openly seen when they decided to cut of Kemba Walker after only a month in the season despite the fact that he was their biggest signee in the off-season.

A lack of confidence in the Knicks game is obvious and the Greek Freak and his teammate will have no mercy on Sunday. The Bucks struggled with numerous injuries early on in the season, and now when they are finally on top of the conference will give their best to stay there, which is too much for the Knicks to handle.
