It's Christmas Day. That means plenty of NBA games on tap. Gambling911.com wishes you and yours a very Merry Christmas.
Bucks vs. Knicks - This one tips off just after Noon ET. We got the Bucks opening at -2 against the Knicks. This one has since shot up to -3.5 across the board. The Bucks have won the last nine games in this series including a game just two days ago, also played in New York. They've beaten the Knicks by 24 and 19 points, respectively, in their last two meetings.
Milwaukee is averaging 120.4 points per 100 possessions compared to 117 by New York. The Bucks have also won seven straight coming into this game.
Khris Middleton in particular has been killing it for the Bucks. Middleton scored 20 points, five rebounds and five assists on Saturday.
"Khris is rolling," Bucks head coach Adrian Griffin said. "You could tell he felt good out there. He was aggressive. When you see a player like that with his skills, you just try to leave him out there, try to feed him. And he was huge. We needed him. Thought that was one of his best games that he's played."
Middleton wasn't even the Bucks highest scorer. That honor went to Giannis Antetokounmpo (28 points, seven rebounds, seven assists) while Damian Lillard finished third best in scoring (19 points, nine rebounds, seven assists).
The Knicks have not been as impressive during the month of December as they've mostly played .500 basketball. They have yet to win more than two in a row since a three-game winning streak from Nov. 28 through Dec. 1.
Favorites opening -2 to -2.5 over the past two weeks have gone 14-6 Against The Spread.
