Bucks at Knicks picks and predictions
Prediction
Knicks 114, Bucks 110
Moneyline
The KNICKS (+110) are worth a roll of the dice as short ‘dogs at home.
New York has won 4 consecutive games, including home wins over the San Antonio Spurs and Phoenix Suns.
The Bucks enter with just 3 wins in their last 9 games overall and are 1-4 SU and ATS in their last 5 road outings.
Against the spread
KNICKS +1.5 (-102) is an okay play if you can’t stand the idea of playing New York straight up. However, this is a minimal amount of points, and the Knicks are much more attractive on the money line.
Over/Under
OVER 221.5 (-112) is worth a look.
The Over has cashed in 5 of the past 7 games overall for the Bucks, while also cashing in 5 of their previous 7 road outings. The Over is also 4-0 in the past 4 for Milwaukee after a SU loss and 4-0 in the past 4 after an ATS loss.
The Over has cashed in 8 of the past 10 contests for the Knicks and has cashed in 5 of their last 6 home games.
