Knicks vs. Bucks Predictions, Odds and Best Bets For 11/28

Akash

The Knicks and Bucks meet Friday at Madison Square Garden in their fourth NBA Cup group game. New York rides a 113-100 win over the Nets to 10-6, powered by Karl Anthony Towns’ 37 and Jalen Brunson’s 27. Milwaukee, now 8-10, fell 115-103 to the Trail Blazers and continues to grapple without Giannis Antetokounmpo.

Ryan Rollins and Kyle Kuzma need bigger roles, and the Bucks’ bench has to hit timely minutes. Landry Shamet’s injury dents New York’s core, but home court and elite play from Brunson and Towns give the Knicks the edge.

Recommended Bet and Updated Odds

Recommended BetFanDuelBetMGM
Jalen Brunson 30+ Points-136-185

Analysis and Rationale

Jalen Brunson has been in excellent scoring form, highlighted by his 27-point performance against the Nets. With Karl Anthony Towns drawing defensive attention inside, Brunson gets more space to operate on the perimeter and in isolation. The Knicks’ offense leans heavily on his shot creation, especially with Landry Shamet sidelined, which increases Brunson’s usage.

Playing at Madison Square Garden adds confidence, and the Bucks’ defense is weakened without Giannis Antetokounmpo anchoring rotations. Brunson’s ability to attack mismatches and close games strongly makes a 30+ point outing a realistic expectation, particularly in a matchup where New York needs his scoring leadership.

Knicks vs. Bucks Prediction

The Knicks enter Friday’s clash at Madison Square Garden with momentum after beating the Nets, led by Karl Anthony Towns’ 37 points and Jalen Brunson’s 27. Milwaukee, struggling without Giannis Antetokounmpo, dropped to 8-10 following a loss to Portland. Ryan Rollins and Kyle Kuzma must elevate their roles, while bench depth is critical. Landry Shamet’s injury hurts New York, but home court and elite play from Brunson and Towns tilt the edge toward the Knicks, who look poised to secure another win.
