    Injury Report

    Milwaukee Bucks @ New York Knicks

    Game Time: 3:00 pm ET

    BetMGM Lines

    MIL +3.5 (+140), NYK -3.5 (-165)
    Game Total 227.5

    Key Storylines

    Bucks on a streak: Coming off three straight wins against the Raptors, Spurs and Magic, Milwaukee wants to make it four against their direct competition for the third seed of the conference. The injury report for the Bucks lists Gary Trent Jr. (hip) as questionable (now out), and Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee), Damian Lillard (calf) and Khris Middleton (ankle) are all probable. If Gary Trent is set to miss the match, Pat Connaughton could grab some extra minutes from the bench, but the current status of Bucks streamers keeps being of the worst in the whole league.

    Getting back on track: After being whooped by a Chet-less Oklahoma City Thunder on Friday, the Knicks are highly likely to want to get back on track against one of their main competitors in the Eastern Conference. With Miles McBride being the only player on the injury report listed as probable, New York looks to be mostly healthy with the clear exception of Mitchell Robinson heading into Sunday’s matchup. Currently McBride and Precious Achiuwa are the only potential streamers worth a look on the team, with Cameron Payne coming in second place for much deeper leagues.

    The darling trio of Karl-Anthony Towns, Jalen Brunson and Josh Hart, along with some solid basketball now and then from Mikal Bridges and OG Anunoby are the main pieces and minute-getters in Tom Thibodeau’s rotation. It will continue being this way for the time being.

    Stream of the Game

    This is a pretty dreadful match for anyone looking for some help. Consider Miles McBride the main man for the job in this case, if he is set to play.

    Alternatives: Precious Achiuwa (points, rebounds), AJ Green (points, 3s), Taurean Prince (rebounds, steals)
