The current betting odds have the Bucks listed as a 5.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Bucks have been having a great start to their season so far. They do not have the best record in the Eastern Conference right now but they are right behind the Celtics who lead with the best record. The Bucks have looked very good in their games though and they still look like the same team that has been dominating the regular season over the last few years. The Knicks haven't been off to a great start themselves though. The Knicks have been struggling to make the right moves for their team and make them competitive again over the last few seasons now but they have a lot of talent on their team now. This team has big problems with their defensive play though as they have shown time and time again that they cannot hold onto leads even as big as 20 points. They have blown many leads this season already and it was a massive problem for them last year too and ultimately was the difference in them going to the playoffs. Until they clean up their play, they can't compete with teams as good as the Bucks who are playing the way they are right now. The best way to place a bet here is on the Bucks to cover the spread in this game.
