The Milwaukee Bucks are set to take on the New York Knicks in a regular-season game at Fiserv Forum on Friday, February 27.
The Bucks are coming off a high-scoring 128–117 win over the Miami Heat on Tuesday. Kevin Porter Jr. stole the show with 32 points, seven rebounds, and seven assists, while Jericho Sims added a strong double-double in the paint. Milwaukee’s offense looked dangerous as it exploited gaps in the defense to secure a much-needed victory at home.
On the other hand, the Knicks are looking to regain their footing after a tough 94–109 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers on Tuesday. Despite Mitchell Robinson’s impressive 16-rebound performance and Jalen Brunson’s usual scoring punch, New York struggled to find a consistent rhythm. Without more consistent help on the scoring end, the team failed to close out well in the second half.

Bucks vs. Knicks Game Preview
The Bucks rely on veteran leadership from Bobby Portis and floor spacing from AJ Green to strengthen their rotation. Milwaukee will also feature Ryan Rollins’ balanced contributions as he takes on a larger role in the backcourt. Even with injuries to their primary stars, the Bucks’ bench depth has proven that they can compete with anyone through high-energy play.
Meanwhile, the Knicks rely heavily on Jalen Brunson, who leads the offense with elite scoring and high-level playmaking. They count on Karl-Anthony Towns and OG Anunoby for rebounding, interior presence, and versatile wing defense. Mikal Bridges and Josh Hart provide the two-way energy that gives fans hope for a deeper playoff run this season.
The Knicks’ overall season consistency gives them a slight edge, but the Milwaukee’s recent home momentum and scoring explosion could make this a thrilling clash in Milwaukee.
