Milwaukee Bucks Game Preview: February 6 at New York Knicks

Major key for Milwaukee – Share the load
This could easily just be simplified to the key for the Bucks being to avoid injuries, but let’s dive a little deeper than that.
In spite of rolling both ankles in the space of a week, Giannis Antetokounmpo will likely play for the Bucks on Tuesday. To help ease some of the strain that may place him under, the Bucks could certainly do with producing a complete team performance that evenly shares responsibility and leads to plenty of rest for key players late in the game.
Finding a way to replicate Sunday’s contributions from Brooklyn would be an excellent place to start, as both Eric Bledsoe and John Henson stepped up with positive performances that far exceeded their usual levels of play.
That’s not to pin the onus on those specific guys again, but the Bucks may well need a real spark from at least one non-Giannis component if they’re to continue their good recent form with another win on Tuesday.
