New York Knicks vs Milwaukee Bucks Preview

The New York Knicks have lost their steam after a 9-game winning streak to finish December. They have lost four out of their last five games, as their defense has crumbled completely due to exhaustion. To make matters worse, their offense has been a shell of itself too as it is overly dependent upon just Karl-Anthony Towns and Jalen Brunson. For example, their third option Mikal Bridges has scored just 10 total points in the last two games. Despite the slide, the Knicks are comfortably holding on to the third spot in the East but will need to fix their woes soon.

The Bucks have overcome a terrible 4-9. They are currently on a three-game winning streak, as Giannis Antetokounmpo has repeatedly taken over games on both ends of the floor. Meanwhile, Damian Lillard has also been impressive on the offensive end, but apart from these two athletes, the offense has been disjointed. The defense has been impressive, but overall, the Bucks will need some heavy lifting to at least hold on to the fourth spot in a wide-open race in the middle.

Hi, I am Shubham. I am currently an NBA Predictions Writer on The Playoffs. I enjoy this job because it helps keep me in the loop about the game I love while fulfilling the pleasure I derive from stats. I got into NBA writing through social media interactions in the mid-2010s as I shared my takes on young talents such as D’Angelo Russell. I hope you enjoy reading my pieces as much as Dennis Rodman loved rebounding the basketball!
