Finale

This will be the last game these teams play this season. With the series currently tied at 1-1, the winner will have bragging rights over the loser until the next season series starts up next season.

Holding a tiebreaker over the Knicks isn’t important for playoff consideration, considering New York is a dozen games below .500. Notching another win is vital for Milwaukee though, especially considering the coming stretch of games.

This game is one of just three the Bucks have against non-playoff teams in this seven-game run, which caps off with a West Coast road trip. Milwaukee could really use picking up this one now before facing back-to-backs, jet lag and tough teams in the coming weeks.
