NBA Odds: Bucks vs. Knicks prediction, pick, how to watch

Milwaukee Bucks (25-14) visit the New York Knicks (22-18) on Monday night at 7:40 p.m. ET. Milwaukee has won two of their previous three games and sits in third place in the Eastern Conference. New Zealand has also won four consecutive games but remains in seventh place. This will be the third and final meeting between the two teams.

Bucks are the favorite against Knicks.

Milwaukee Bucks are a good defensive team but they struggle to find consistent offensive production. Giannis Antetokounmpo is the best player in the league and he has been impressive against the Knicks in their previous meetings. The Bucks excel on offense from three-point range, with five players averaging at least 1.5 made threes per game. Brook Lopez is a versatile player who can play at both center and guard position. The Knicks allow the 10th-most th3s per team. Jrue Holiday is their second option at point guard.

The Knicks won eight straight games in early December. They then lost five in a row, but have since won four straight. Julius Randle has been on a tear recently, averaging 31.6 PPG and 12.7 RPG across his last nine games. Jalen Brunson has also been playing well recently. The Knicks are looking to avoid going winless against the Bucks this season.

Milwaukee has dominated the series this season. Knicks will come out ahead at home tonight.

The final odds are New York Knicks +1.5 (-112) against the Milwaukee Bucks.
