Milwaukee Bucks Game Preview: April 7 at New York Knicks
By Adam McGee
Finale
The Bucks have won all three of the meetings between themselves and the Knicks on the season to date, and it could be a really important moment if they manage to close out a season sweep on Saturday night.
The Knicks could be pretty depleted as Enes Kanter missed Friday’s game, and both Michael Beasley and Emmanuel Mudiay left early with injuries, but what that could lead to is greater opportunity for players who are desperate to prove they’re deserving of a longer-term look in the NBA.
That shouldn’t be enough to beat a team of Milwaukee’s talent, unless the Knicks simply out-will them. Considering what’s on the line for the Bucks, there’s no reason why that should be the case.
