Milwaukee Bucks vs New York Knicks: Current situation
Losing Damian Lillard is a devastating blow to the ambitions of the Milwaukee Bucks. The veteran point guard is unlikely to return this season following a blood clot issue, something similar happened earlier in the year to Spurs phenom Victor Wembanyama and he has not played since. It’s a tough road ahead for Milwaukee, they slipped to 6th place following their latest defeat to the Nuggets on Wednesday.
Despite splitting their last 10 games, the Knicks remain 3rd in the East with a 3-game edge over the Indiana Pacers. As we get close to April there is increased optimism that leading scorer and best player Jalen Brunson could return to the line-up. He has been out for a couple of weeks now due to an ankle injury, it goes without saying that the Knicks won’t make it far into the postseason if he doesn’t get healthy.
Milwaukee Bucks Stats & Form
Giannis Antetokounmpo joined Damian Lillard on the sidelines on Wednesday and the Bucks had no chance against the Nuggets in their final game of their West coast road trip. Brook Lopez took over the scoring responsibilities with 26, with 6 other Bucks players scoring in double-figures. However, defensively the Bucks couldn’t do much about Nikola Jokic who torched them for a triple double in a 10-point loss.
New York Knicks Stats & Form
The Knicks are also coming off a loss, they got beat 126-113 at Madison Square Garden by the LA Clippers. James Harden and Kawhi Leonard reminded us they still have a lot left in the tank, New York got solid games out of their duo of Karl-Anthony Towns and OG Anunoby, but without Jalen Brunson and his 25 points per game they are unable to match-up with the best of the best right now.
Milwaukee Bucks vs New York Knicks: Head-to-Head

Over the last 5 meetings they are 4-1 ATS/SU, with 4 of the last 5 meetings at Fiserv Forum cashing on the over. Friday’s game will be the 235th meeting all time in the regular season between these two Eastern Conference rivals.

Betting tip and prediction: Milwaukee Bucks vs New York Knicks (28.03.2025)
Both of these teams have had their fair share of struggles recently due to injuries, which is unfortunate as we are entering the critical stages of the regular season. Damian Lillard’s absence really limits the Bucks offensively, especially since they are already without Bobby Portis who is serving his suspension. They should get a healthy Giannis Antetokounmpo back for this game, after he missed the game in Denver on Wednesday. Even though they’re coming into this game off a defeat vs the Clippers, the Knicks have won 2 of their last 3 games and have a winning record on the road at 21-15 SU. Karl-Anthony Towns is doing the heavy lifting in Brunson’s absence, he will certainly make life difficult for the Bucks here with his combination of size and ability to step outside the three-point line. Speaking of the three-point line, the Knicks have been flat out terrible when it comes to defending the perimeter, that’s definitely something the Bucks can exploit here. Assuming Giannis Antetokounmpo returns, of course. The Bucks are the 3rd most efficient team in the NBA from distance this season, knocking down 38.3% of their attempts. Despite their loss to Denver they shot 43.2% from downtown in that game, which is encouraging considering they were without their two best players and their best role player in that game. With so many injuries on both rosters it’s difficult to predict who will come out on top here, but one thing is for certain – we will see a ton of points being scored. These two are averaging 231.9 points per game in the last 10 meetings, the over has cashed 4 times in 5 meetings at Fiserv Forum. We recommend backing the points once again here.
