Bucks vs. Knicks Odds & Betting Predictions - December 25, 2023

Saw his highest minutes last game vs. NYK. Showing signs of rhythm too. He saw 33 minutes as compared to Giannis’ 32 and Lillard’s 33. Although he’s the third option on the offense, Middleton should benefit with less defensive attention from the stars and more C&S opportunities. He averages 18.06 PPG Per-32 MIN and went 2-7 from FG in the 4th Q. Clearly had more room for upside despite finishing the game with 20 points. #PlayerProps

Love my dog @RoyalsProps - he’d want me to do this

Ok with the slightly juicier FD or DK lines. Over in 4 straight, and has rebounded well vs the Bucks this season (23 boards in 69 mins). Knicks obviously need him on the floor as much as possible without Sims or Mitch (Taj Gibson really can only play in shorter stints right now). Bucks have been an avg opponent for center rebounds, but have allowed 15+ over the L15 games (9th most). And where Hartenstein should do work is on the offensive glass - the Bucks allow the third most offensive rebounds per game, and Hartenstein is third in the NBA in oREB% (behind Capela and Mitch). I have him at 11.
