No shock that this game is considered the least entertaining of the Christmas Day games. Milwaukee is a 10-point favorite, and to make matters worse for the Knicks will be the factor of revenge.
On Dec. 1 the Bucks traveled to what is allegedly still the mecca of basketball and were handed a shocking 136-134 loss. Don’t think that won’t be on their minds when they hit the floor Tuesday.
The Knickerbockers have begun to hit the skids, posting a 1-9 straight-up record over their last 10 games with just two covers over that span.
Milwaukee sits right behind Golden State and Toronto in offensive efficiency, scoring 109.9 points per 100 possessions. New York allows 110.1 points every 100 possessions and will have its hands full with a Milwaukee team that will head into the Garden with two full days of rest.
Jump on this number when it is hung, as the value will be gone, much like Christmas in Whoville after the Grinch got his hands on it.
The play: Milwaukee, -10.
