Milwaukee Bucks Game Preview: February 6 at New York Knicks

Knick to watch – Kristaps Porzingis

While Enes Kanter could certainly provide Milwaukee with just as many problems as he did en route to a 17 point, 18 rebound game at the Bradley Center last week, there’s also a very strong likelihood that Kristaps Porzingis will offer more than he did in that last meeting.

Under pressure from Giannis Antetokounmpo on both ends of the floor, Porzingis managed just 17 points and seven rebounds on 6-of-15 from the field last Friday.

With averages of 22.9 points and 6.7 rebounds per game on 43.7 percent from the field and 39.2 percent from deep, you’d at least expect Porzingis to score a little bit more frequently and knock down more than the single three he managed a few days ago.

Saying that, there aren’t many players with the mix of physical tools and talent to test Porzingis in the way Antetokounmpo can, and if Giannis can be equally successful on both ends on Tuesday, the Bucks will be set up well for a victory.
