The Knicks kick off the second half of their season by traveling to Milwaukee to take on the Milwaukee Bucks, who are playing pretty well overall, but a notable step below the top two teams in the Eastern Conference, the Nets and the Sixers.
The Knicks will be without Derrick Rose (still in the COVID-19 contact tracing program. He’ll probably get out of it by Tuesday) and Mitchell Robinson (who is still recovering from a broken hand) but they have the rest of the team healthy, including Taj Gibson’s return to action as the backup center behind Nerlens Noel.
