The Knicks have looked good in their games this season with their 2-1 record overall which has them off to a good start to the season. They are 0-1 in their road games as they lost their only one to the Heat, but they are coming off that loss in their last one and will be looking to bounce back. Meanwhile, the Bucks have looked good in their games this season with their 2-1 record overall which has them off to a good start to the season too. They are 1-0 in their home games as they won their only game there, but they are off a loss in their last one. They will be looking to bounce back after losing on the road to the Cavaliers 118-113 in their last one, but they struggled a lot more in that game when they had to face a better team. They beat up on 2 bad teams to start the season, beating the Wizards and the Raptors, but they didn't have enough for the Cavaliers. They have a very different team than what they had last season, but it has been very clear in their first 3 games that they need more help for Giannis. Besides Giannis, the Bucks don't have a ton of options to go to for scoring while the Knicks have a lot of options to go to for points. Both teams are looking to bounce back here, but the Knicks are the better team with more players that can put points up and should be able to edge the Bucks out here. The best way to place a bet here is on the Knicks to cover the spread in this game.
