Milwaukee at New York

The New York Knicks take to the floor tonight and the public can't help themselves. Nearly 85% of the bets on this game are coming in on New York and I'm going the other way. Long term Melo and Billups will have a positive impact on this franchise, but right now they are brand new and I don't expect a sudden huge improvement. And let's not forget that the Knicks gave up a lot to land these players. The Bucks have beaten the Knicks in eight of the last nine meetings including four straight. The last game Milwaukee lost to New York in this building was back in 2007. The Bucks have covered ten of their last 14 vs. Eastern Conference opponents. New York is just 2-6 ATS in their last eight games as a favorite in this range (5 - 11 points). I like the road team plus the points here.
