Knicks vs Bucks: Tonight’s NBA Game Odds, Picks, and Predictions
The New York Knicks are preparing to face the Milwaukee Bucks, marking an exciting matchup in the NBA. With Giannis Antetokounmpo out due to injury, the stage is set for a significant performance from the Knicks’ center, Karl-Anthony Towns.
Game Preview: Knicks vs Bucks
The game is scheduled for February 27, 2026, at the Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee. Tip-off is at 8:00 p.m. ET, and the game will be aired on MSG Sportsnet and FDSN Wisconsin.
Recent Performance
In their last outing, Karl-Anthony Towns was notably underutilized, shooting just five times and scoring 14 points in 28 minutes of play. This came as a surprise given his prior performances, where he averaged 21, 25, and 28 points after the All-Star break.
- Towns has scored 19+ points in seven of his last ten games.
- He averaged 19.6 points with a shooting percentage of 55.4% throughout February.
In contrast, the Knicks struggled as a team, managing only a 37% shooting percentage against the Cleveland Cavaliers. The team aims to rectify this by prominently featuring Towns in their offensive strategy against the Bucks.
Betting Odds and Predictions
According to analysts, the Knicks are favored with a spread of -8.5. Here are the current odds:
| Bet Type | Odds |
|---|---|
| Knicks Moneyline | -330 |
| Bucks Moneyline | +265 |
| Over/Under Total | 219.5 |
For the game, Towns is projected to exceed his scoring total of 18.5 points, especially with no Antetokounmpo to contend with this time. Betting on his over is deemed a favorable option given his current form.
Key Players to Watch
- Karl-Anthony Towns: Expected to lead the scoring for the Knicks.
- Bobby Portis: Will benefit from increased opportunities on the boards with Giannis sidelined.
The Knicks are looking to rebound from their recent loss and capitalize on the Bucks’ challenges without their star player. Find more NBA insights and updates at Filmogaz.com.
