KNICKS fan here but:  This is a great spot for the Milwaukee Bucks. They are catching the Knicks off two-straight games versus the Chicago Bulls, including last nights loss. Last nights game in Chicago was a late tip which caused the Knicks to get into Milwaukee extremely late. This doesn't bode well for a team that is 0-4 ATS in their last four trips to Milwaukee. The Bucks have had some impressive success versus New York over the last few seasons going 12-2 ATS in the last 14 meetings. Both New York and Milwaukee are battling for the final playoff spot in the East and following the last two tough games for New York, the Knicks will just run out of gas late. New York could possibly open up a halftime lead, but Milwaukee will steal the show in the second half and cruise to a 8-10 point victory. The backcourt tandem of Monta Ellis and Brandon Jennings should give the Knicks some difficulty. The Knicks defeated a drama-filled Orlando Magic team on the road prior to the Bulls series, but before that they failed to cover versus the Pacers, Hawks, and Raptors (three games in which they lost by an average of 13 points). The Bucks will be completely focused on this game as they have only played one time since they beat the Portland Trailblazers on April 7th (a loss to the Thunder). Even better for us is Milwaukee hasn't left their home arena since April 3rd and they even have a day of rest before they travel to Detroit on the 13th.
