Milwaukee Bucks Form

Milwaukee have been on a roll for most of December to keep pace with Boston in the Eastern Conference.

The Bucks struggled for consistency in the first few weeks of the season, but found some good form in November.

They reeled off five consecutive wins, and then rebounded from a disappointing loss to the Celtics with a three-game winning run.

Milwaukee started December with a couple of defeats before exiting the In-Season Tournament with a semi-final loss to Indiana.

The Bucks responded to that loss in strong fashion, embarking on a win streak that has put them in great shape for the holiday period.

New York Knicks Form

New York have been solid but unspectacular during the first few months of the season, but that has been enough to give them a winning record.

The Knicks started slowly as they lost four of their first six games, but November proved to be a strong month for them as they kick-started their campaign.

They put together a couple of three-game win streaks together as they won nine times in a 12-game spell.

New York started December with a win too, beating Toronto on the road, but their form tailed off over the next couple of weeks as they struggled for consistency.

The Knicks steadied the ship before this double-header with Milwaukee though, winning three of their final four games on a pre-Christmas road trip.

Verdict

Milwaukee have been in strong form throughout December, and we expect them to leave Madison Square Garden with another ‘W’ on Christmas Day.
