The Christmas Day slate opens at noon with the Milwaukee Bucks and New York Knicks tipping off. Because these teams met in the quarter-finals of the In-Season Tournament they’ll play an unprecedented five times this season.
This is the fourth meeting between the clubs as they just played on the 23rd with Milwaukee taking that match 130-111. The Bucks also won the prior two matches on November 3rd (110-105) and in the quarter-finals of the In-Season Tournament on December 5th (146-122)
Season Series
The teams played four times in 2022-23 with the Knicks winning the series taking three of the four matches while the Bucks hold the all-time record between the clubs with 124 victories in 229 matches.
Milwaukee Bucks
The winning streak has reached seven in a row and the Bucks will look to make it two in a row over the Knicks with the opening Christmas Day match.
Five Bucks registered double-figure scoring led by Giannis Antetokounmpo with 28 points, seven rebounds, and seven assists while Bobby Portis produced a double-double of 23 points and 11 rebounds.
Damian Lillard and Malik Beasley each scored 19 points while Khris Middleton dropped 20 points in the victory.
Bucks Stats
Milwaukee’s key categories find them ranked third offensively (120.2), and 20th defensively (115.2) with a net differential of plus +5.1 which ranks seventh overall.
Betting on the Bucks against the spread is a tricky proposition given their 12-16 record in that category through 28 contests. The Bucks pay well as a favorite winning on 21 of the 27 such occasions.
Bucks Injury Report
To summarize the injury report…
- Jae Crowder, SF (OUT indefinitely —groin)
New York Knicks
If you caught my Knicks – Timberwolves preview I noted New York’s success might be fool’s gold given their ease of schedule to start the season and how they hadn’t beaten a team with a record over .500 (some of those opponents like the Clippers have since moved above .500).
Sure enough, they got routed by the Wolves offering evidence there may be more to that assessment than conjecture. Since the Minnesota loss, New York has played a further seven teams with winning records earning three victories – – with two of those against the struggling Lakers and Suns.
Factor in the loss of Mitchell Robinson for an extended period and while New York seems poised to earn a playoff seed they’re still a player or two short from moving up the ladder.
Knicks Stats
New York ranks ninth offensively (117.4), and has slipped to 13th defensively (113.7) while their net differential is plus +3.6 which ranks in a tie for eighth overall.
The Knicks are a fairly strong bet against the spread with a 15-11-1 record through 27 contests.
Knicks Injury Report
To summarize the injury report…
- Mitchell Robinson, C (OUT indefinitely — ankle)
- Jericho Sims, C (OUT indefinitely — ankle)
- DaQuan Jeffries, PG (questionable — illness)

Free Milwaukee Bucks vs. New York Knicks NBA Prediction:
Typically playing a team twice in a row results in a split but the Knicks are really missing Mitchell Robinson which was evident as Milwaukee won the rebound battle (53-41) and scored at will in the paint.
The other major issue was New York’s perimeter defense which was missing in action Saturday as the Bucks shot 50 percent from behind the arc.
While every club wants to play on Christmas, the early tip for the first match isn’t ideal and often results in sluggish starts.
