New York has lost 12 of 16 and is out of playoff position, but a lack of offense certainly isn't to blame. The Knicks are averaging 111.4 points in that span, which is third-highest in the league.

The real problem has been the Knicks' opponents have reached at least 100 points in all but four of those contests.

Milwaukee (3.5-point faves) is 3-0 against New York, allowing 84.7 points per game and 36.6 percent shooting in those matchups. A victory would give the Bucks their first sweep of the Knicks since going 4-0 in 1990-91.

The Bucks, missing Michael Redd and Andrew Bogut most of the season, have been led by Richard Jefferson, who is averaging a team-high 18.8 points. Get your NBA basketball betting with Bodog now.
