Markets
Milwaukee Bucks (25-14, third in the Eastern Conference) visit the New York Knicks (22-18, sixth in the Eastern Conference) in Tuesday’s game of the day.
The Knicks come into this on a 4-game winning streak so should be full of confidence.
In contrast, the Bucks form has been patchy of late, winning just 3 of their last 9. Their most recent effort ended in a 29-point hammering by the Hornets on the weekend. They’ll be looking to put that result behind them ASAP.
The Bucks have been to the Garden twice already this season for 2 wins – 119-108 on Oct 28 and 109-103 on Nov 30.
The line for this match-up opened at Knicks +2.5 and has tightened a half point to +2. Given the recent form of the Bucks, we’ll take the points start on the Knicks and think they are a great chance to extend their streak to 5 wins.
In the player markets, Giannis will be looking for a big bounce-back game and has scored 30 and 37 in his 2 games vs the Knicks this season.
Julius Randle is averaging over 24 points per game this season also.
Quentin Grimes didn’t pick up a board against the Raptors on the weekend but has been prolific all season averaging 3.2 rebounds per game.
Knicks +2
$6 SGM: Knicks +1.5 / Giannis 30+ pts/ Randle 25+ points / Grimes 2+ rebounds
