The Knicks are coming off one of their biggest wins of the year on Tuesday night, but now turn around the next night and get one of the best teams in the NBA coming to play at MSG.

The Bucks come in as considerable favorites. While they are still without their second-best player Khris Middleton, that hasn't prevented them from starting the year with the second-best record in the NBA.

Knicks vs. Bucks Prediction & Pick
The Knicks destroyed the Detroit Pistons on Wednesday night by 30 points, but now have to turn around and face one of the league's top teams the next night. While the blowout did help the Knicks give their starters some rest compared to an average night, one of the Knicks' biggest strengths – their depth – won't be an advantage. The Bucks come in more talented and more rested and the Knicks don't really have an answer for Giannis Antetokounmpo.
Prediction: Bucks 124 | Knicks 115
Knicks vs. Bucks Best Bet
Jalen Brunson has been and is the Knicks' best player this season. He has been phenomenal, especially over this recent stretch. Excluding last night's game when Brunson only played 18 minutes becau se of a blowout, he is averaging 31.0 points in his last four games. Tonight he draws a tough matchup against Jrue Holiday, but his total is only at 20.5 points. With Brunson being fully rested because of a lack of minutes last night, I expect him to hit this over, even with a defender like Holiday on him. Even if he's not efficient, Brunson should have enough volume to get this over.
