Table of Contents
New York remains on a slightly complicated series away from its bases, with three losses in a row outside. After two beautiful victories at the Madison Square Garden against Washington and Dallas, Tom Thibodeau’s men underwent Clippers’ law on Wednesday (126-113).
Despite the defeat, Karl-Anthony Towns has shown the extent of his talent again with 34 points and 14 rebounds. And Anunobyalso in good shape, added 28 units. The real concern? A bench that has only scored 12 small points. Not ideal while the workforce is already well reduced: still no Jalen Brunson, Miles McBrideat Cameron Payne This evening.
Milwaukee in the hard without its stars
Bucks are not at best either. Beaten in Denver Wednesday (127-117), they have just chained two consecutive defeats. And above all, they must compose without their two leaders:
• Giannis Antetokounmpo is uncertain with foot pain.
• Damian Lillardhe is always out because of a blood clot.
In this context, it is Brook Lopez who took over against the Nuggets, with 26 points and 7 rebounds. Solid, but enough to bring down Knicks well in place? Not sure…
The Knicks dominate the series
New York clearly has the ascendancy on Milwaukee this season: two games, two victories without appeal to the Garden.
• 116-94 in November
• 140-106 in January (with a huge towns: 30 points, 18 rebounds)
The X factor: Giannis or nothing?
Everything could be played on a single info: Does Giannis play tonight?
With him, Milwaukee remains a formidable team. Without him, the collective struggles to exist. Opposite, the Knicks will again have to rely on their Towns – Anunoby duo to do the job, hoping for a little more support from the bench.
Pronostics NBA pour Knicks-Bucks
This match should be tight despite the absences on the side of the Bucks. New York is a favorite in this meeting and Karl-Anthony Towns could a new time shine.
Prono n ° 1: Karl-Anthony Towns over 3.5 passes to 2.05
Towns like Bucks. With 4 medium passes against the Bucks, it could be collective again this evening. This 3.5 cut remains high for him if we look at his stats on the season. However, he comes out of two games against Dallas (11 assists) and the clippers (4 assists) rather very good on this aspect of the game.
Prono N ° 2: And Anunoby Over 20.5 Points of 1.80
In the absence of Jalen Brunson, Og Anunoby is in great shape in scoring: 25 points on average on the last 5 exits! Usually the bucks do not succeed too much. But numerous absences and its good shape could allow him to get out of the game!
