The Milwaukee Bucks put a 109-95 beating on the Knicks at Madison Square Garden on Christmas Day. That game went way under the total (which closed at 225.5 points), but four straight meetings prior to that had gone over and I think points will come fast and easy for both teams in the second leg of the home-and-home set tonight.

The Knicks have allowed an average of 117.0 ppg on the road this season and over/under is 12-7 in their 19 games away from home (10-3 in their last 13 road games vs. a team with a winning home record). The Bucks are the highest scoring team in the league and have been averaging a superb 119.7 ppg home at Fiserv Forum on the season.

The Knicks know they'll need to score in order to keep this close, and I expect this to turn into a fast-paced shootout.
