Giannis is leading Milwaukee in average Points (27.8), Assists (5.8), Rebounds (11.5), Blocks (1.73) and even playing most of the minutes for the team. The main support cast, Middleton and Jrue Holiday, were sidelined for nearly half of the ongoing season due to injuries.

New York Knicks this season
New York Knicks – one of the few teams who were able to have a complete roster for every match. The team looked rock solid with performances from Julius Randle and the newly acquired all-star guards.
Julius Randle was well supported by RJ Barrett, Derrick Rose, Kemba Walker in points. Every starter is in double figures in points per game-posing an offensive threat from all. While traditional centers have supported rebounds.

Milwaukee Bucks vs New York Knicks: Match Prediction
The Knicks were the superior team the last time these two teams met. Derrick Rose and RJ Barrett’s performances were difference-makers for the Knicks. Julius Randle had a double-double with a game-high 32 points and 12 rebounds. Derrick Rose provided 23 points while Barrett contributed 20 points in a 15 point win over Bucks.
The Bucks will be a worried team, as they were leading by 21 points and still couldn’t keep a hold of it. They were beaten by Derrick Rose’s super plays in the 2nd quarter. This actually fired up Julius, who dominated Giannis in 2nd quarter.
The Bucks will be hoping to have a fully fit Brook Lopez in order to contain the Knicks in the paint. The Bucks are better in the fast break than the Knicks. The Bucks need to take the advantage of the chances provided by Brook. This combination will be a game-changer for Milwaukee in their victory.
