What you need to know about the Knicks
New York was close but no cigar this past Friday as it fell 90-87 to the Toronto Raptors. Small forward R.J. Barrett (19 points) and power forward Obi Toppin (19 points) were the top scorers for the Knicks. The 87 points was a season-low for New York who is now 2-6 when scoring fewer than 100 points in a game.
The Knicks will have to go without both Barrett and Toppin on Sunday are both are in health and safety protocols. Thus, the team will be expecting more out of Julius Randle who has struggled this year after being an All-NBA selection and the Most Improved Player last year. Randle’s scoring average has dropped nearly five points and his 3P percentage has dropped from 41.1 to 33.1 percent.
What you need to know about the Bucks
Meanwhile, the Bucks bagged a 123-114 win over the Houston Rockets this past Friday. Power forward Giannis Antetokounmpo had a dynamite game for Milwaukee; he posted a double-double on 41 points and 17 rebounds in addition to five dimes. The Bucks moved to 13-0 when they score at least 114 points in a game.
The Bucks remain without two starters in Brook Lopez (back) and Donte DiVincenzo (ankle), while George Hill (knee) is probable. Milwaukee is one of the most efficient and effective 3P shooting teams as it ranks third in makes, fourth in attempts and seventh in percentage. Milwaukee also leads the NBA in rebounds per game (47.7) with Antetokounmpo ranking sixth in the NBA (11.8).
