The Pick
MIL/NY Over 227.5. Two of the hottest offenses in the NBA tonight. Over the last 2 weeks they both rank inside the top 6. Giannis and the Bucks offense has been rolling since the return of Jrue Holliday and Pat Connaughton. The shooters on the outside have allowed Giannis to return to MVP form, scoring 35 or more in 3 of his last 4 games. The Bucks are currently averaging 118.2 PPG in those 4 games, and they get a Knicks defense that ranks 24th in defensive rating. The Knicks meanwhile are averaging 130.2 PPG their L4 and are fresh off a 140-point beatdown of the Detroit Pistons. Both teams also crash the offensive boards well, ranking 4th and 7th in that category which bodes well for the Bucks considering the Knicks are a bottom 5 defensive rebounding team. The Bucks are going to score plenty of points and the Knicks have the firepower to keep up. The Over is a perfect 4-0 in both the Bucks and Knicks last 4 games. It’s also 7-2 for the Bucks L9 road games vs teams with a losing record and a perfect 5-0 in the Knicks last 5 home games.
