The New York Knicks are in Milwaukee for the final time in the 2023-24 regular season. Who knows what the postseason will bring? The last time New York won in Milwaukee was in 2021, a 113-98 victory.

The Knicks will be without one of their stars, Julius Randle. He had to opt for season-ending surgery so that he wouldn't risk permanent damage to his shoulder if he returned. Randle and Giannis Antetokounmpo are usually a fun matchup, but that duo won't be going at it on Sunday.

Antetokounmpo's status is uncertain. He and the Bucks are nearing the end of what's been an eventful season, from the Damian Lillard trade to the firing of Adrian Griffin. Milwaukee was a first-round exit last season, and Antetokounmpo missed a couple of games in that series. With the postseason looming, the Bucks can't afford for Giannis not to be at his best.
