Milwaukee Bucks vs. New York Knicks Moneyline Pick & Preview – March 28, 2025

The New York Knicks (45-27) and Milwaukee Bucks (40-32) will compete for the third and final time this regular season on Friday, March 28 at 8:00 PM ET at the Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The Knicks have a slight edge with a point spread at -1.0 (-110) at MyBookie.

New York Knicks Betting Preview

The Knicks are 3-2 over their last five games and recently just ended their two-game win streak with a 126-113 loss to the Los Angeles Clippers at home. A handful of injuries lately have been plaguing their consistency on the court.

New York scored over 30 points just once in a quarter, with their first quarter performance being a 33-20 effort. After that, they had issues on defense trying to contain the Clippers and their offense was limited. Karl-Anthony Towns led with 34 points and 14 rebounds.

Both teams shot about the same overall from the field (around 50.0 percent), but the Clippers had an edge with making 16 threes as opposed to the Knicks 13. In addition, Jalen Brunson is out again (as well as Cameron Payne for another quality guard option) so their depth will be hurt here still.

The Knicks, when healthy, rank ninth in scoring at 116.5 points a game. Their defense has allowed 112.4 points a game, ranking 13th. This is a slight margin for error, but they have a slight disadvantage due to their injuries.

Milwaukee Bucks Betting Preview

The Bucks are currently on a two-game skid and are 2-3 in their last five matchups (all of which have been on the road). Their recent loss was a 127-117 performance against the Denver Nuggets.

Milwaukee was down by double digits after the first quarter, but stormed back to make this a respectable game by halftime. Brook Lopez led with 26 points on 70.5 percent shooting.

The Nuggets shot 54.4 percent from the field and 43.2 percent from deep, while the Bucks made 51.7 percent of their shots and the same percentage as the Nuggets from deep. Denver killed with fast break points at 20 with the Bucks having just five.

The Bucks are without Damian Lillard and Giannis Antetokounmpo is listed as probable. They have been averaging 114.4 points a game (ranking 13th) and allowing 112.3 (12th) from opponents. This spread does not offer a lot of room for error.
