In two games against the Bucks, Knueppel has 7 3-pointers. He has knocked down 4 in six straight games and 8 of his last 10. Bucks are 21st in 3-pointers allowed and also a narrative here with him being back home in front of friends and family.

An absolutely scary fade on Giannis but this is popping in the RotoGrinders PickLabs tool with an edge. Projections have this closer to 14 so let’s run with it.
