A total of 22 teams are in action this Friday in the NBA as we prepare for the weekend. There's a double-header on ESPN starting from 7.30 pm ET, I've included one of those games in my Mega Parlay which you can find below.
Check out our NBA predictions for picks on the Spread and Total for all 11 games tonight, but let's not waste any more time and jump straight into it.
New York Knicks Money Line (+220)
Optimism is back at Madison Square Garden as the Knicks are off to a 3-1 start following wins over Detroit, Orlando and Charlotte. Granted, the opponents aren't exactly top tier quality, but New York has looked solid so far. Jalen Brunson is proving to be a solid addition averaging 20 points per game, joining 4 other Knicks players who are averaging double-digit scoring. After 4 games played, the Knicks rank 5th in Net Rating with a +8.5, just 2.2 less than what tonight's opponent the Bucks average. This team is on a run of covering the spread in 11 of their last 12 games away from home, plus they've beaten their last 5 Eastern Conference opponents. Milwaukee is undefeated after three games, but the win over Brooklyn has exerted a ton of energy. They are still missing Khris Middleton, that is bound to catch up to them eventually. New York did win one of the two games last regular season played in Milwaukee, they are a much deeper team this time around.
