With the Knicks riding a four-game winning streak and the Bucks trading wins and losses over their last six games, recency bias might have you believe that these are two evenly matched teams but that is not the case IMO. Even without injured Middleton, the Bucks are the superior side and I expect a strong effort from them here after giving up 138 points in a home loss to Charlotte Friday night. The Bucks won 119-108 at home on Oct 28 and 109-103 here in NY on Nov 30.

8* PLAY ON OVER.
