Finale

The Bucks didn’t play exceptionally well against New York last time, and they came out of Madison Square Garden with a win. If they do play well at home, they should have a very good shot of getting another one on Friday.

Milwaukee will need to watch out, though. Any time a team is on a big losing streak, they can become desperate. A desperate team is a dangerous team. The Knicks don’t just want a win here, they need one.

Potentially without both Joakim Noah and Kristaps Porzingis, it might not matter what the Knicks need. Still, the Bucks need to stay vigilant and watch out for New York on Friday night.
