The Milwaukee Bucks just beat the New York Knicks on the road, now it’s time to face them again, this time in Milwaukee.
The Milwaukee Bucks have won three games in a row after a dramatic buzzer beating shot by Giannis Antetokounmpo gave them a W in New York against the Knicks on Wednesday. Now Milwaukee can make it four by taking care of those same New York Knicks in the BMO Harris Bradley Center on Friday.
These wins have mattered for Milwaukee’s playoff standing, and although obviously most of the middle seeds are still absolutely in flux it’s nice to see the Bucks in sole possession of the sixth seed in the East some 34 games into the season.

Milwaukee needs to keep on winning to ensure the team qualifies for postseason play after all 82 regular season games, and taking down the Knicks again would help both in the win column and to build even more momentum in Milwaukee. Both things are important, even if the win numbers are more tangible.
The Knicks, who have now lost six consecutive games, will either show up desperate and ready to fight until the end or simply weary. This team was 16-13 on Christmas Eve, and hasn’t won a game since December 22nd.
To find out how both the red-hot Bucks and the ice-cold Knicks can win on Friday, we’ll go through major keys for both teams. Then it’s time to cover a Knick to watch, followed by predictions on the game.
