New York Knicks fans want nothing more than to put Friday's loss to the Thunder in the rearview, and beating Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Bucks on Sunday afternoon would be a good way to do that.
Milwaukee is on a three-game winning streak, with its most recent win against Orlando on Friday. Giannis dropped 41 points (19-of-29), 14 rebounds, four assists, three steals, and two blocks in 37 minutes after he was listed as probable. He's dealt with right patellar tendinopathy all season and missed a few games in December because of back spasms.
Antetokounmpo is on the injury report again, but fans should expect him to play at MSG. Hopefully, the Knicks aren't headed toward another embarrassment on their home floor. How will New York respond?
