Through 3 Quarters
Down seven at the end of last quarter, the New York Knicks have now snagged the lead. It’s anybody’s game after three quarters, but New York is ahead of the Milwaukee Bucks 88-83.
The Knicks have been led by power forward Julius Randle, who so far has 22 points in addition to nine rebounds. One thing to keep an eye out for is Nerlens Noel’s foul situation as he currently sits at four.
Shooting guard Grayson Allen has led the way so far for Milwaukee, as he has shot 6-for-9 from downtown and has recorded 22 points and five boards.
the Bucks have lost 100% of the time when they were down heading into the fourth quarter this season, so this one seems just about wrapped up

What to Know
The Milwaukee Bucks will take on the New York Knicks at 7:30 p.m. ET Friday at Fiserv Forum after having had a few days off. Milwaukee should still be riding high after a big victory, while New York will be looking to get back in the win column.
Everything went the Bucks’ way against the Detroit Pistons on Tuesday as they made off with a 117-89 win. The contest was all but wrapped up at the end of the third, by which point Milwaukee had established a 90-62 advantage. It was another big night for their power forward Giannis Antetokounmpo, who had 28 points and nine assists in addition to eight boards and four blocks.
Meanwhile, New York ended up a good deal behind the Indiana Pacers when they played on Wednesday, losing 111-98. One thing holding New York back was the mediocre play of point guard Kemba Walker, who did not have his best game: he played for 28 minutes but put up just four points on 2-for-11 shooting.
The Bucks are the favorite in this one, with an expected 4-point margin of victory. They have been consistent moneymakers against the spread when favored (4-2), so they might be worth a quick bet.
Milwaukee was within striking distance but couldn’t close the gap when the two teams previously met in March as they fell 102-96 to the Knicks. Can Milwaukee avenge their defeat, or is history doomed to repeat itself? We’ll soon find out.
