The New York Knicks are coming off consecutive losses, one a blow-out against the Indiana Pacers and a nail-biter Vs the Toronto Raptors. On Friday night, the Knicks were unable to stifle Toronto, despite a career-night from Obi Toppin, who finished with 19 points and 10 rebounds. Toppin’s transition game has become a catalyst for the Knicks’ offense, but his 19.6% 4-PT shooting this season has dragged his minutes down, despite Tom Thibodeau increasing his totals gradually in the month of December.
New York won’t have an easier time on Sunday afternoon against the Milwaukee Bucks, who currently stands 2nd in the Central Division and have one 11 of their last 13 games, including a victory over the Houston Rockets on Friday.
