Milwaukee has vastly improved under this new coaching staff, playing good defense, and they don't have a losing road record. Milwaukee is one of the NBA's best shooting teams on the road at 46.6 percent, and one of the league's best in averaging 18.4 points off turnovers. The bounce back Bucks are 19-7-1 ATS following a loss and 15-5-1 ATS in their last 21 road games. They come off a close loss to surging Indiana, 94-91. The Bucks feast on bad teams, 14-6 ATS against a team with a losing record, and face one of the worst in the New York Knicks. New York is 29th in points scored and 21st in points allowed. Carmelo Anthony heads a lengthy injury list for the Knicks, on a 10-game skid. Anthony wasn't available in Friday's 97-81 home defeat to Detroit in which the Knicks trailed by as many as 33 points. Amare Stoudemire (sore right knee), Samuel Dalembert (sprained right ankle), Tim Hardaway, Jr. (concussion), and Iman Shumpert (dislocated left shoulder) also sat out Friday. New York is on a 0-4-1 ATS run, and the Knicks are 0-4 ATS in their last four home games. Play Milwaukee.
