Milwaukee Bucks v New York Knicks
2021-22 NBA Regular Season
Saturday 29 January 2022
Fiserv Forum, Milwaukee, Wisconsin
Tip-off at 05:00
The Milwaukee Bucks will chase a home win over the New York Knicks when the teams meet in an NBA Regular Season game at the Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee, Wisconsin on the morning of Saturday 29 January 2022. Tip-off is at 05:00.
The Bucks are competing with the Miami Heat, Chicago Bulls and Brooklyn Nets to be the top team in the Eastern Conference. Milwaukee continued to rely on Giannis Antetokounmpo, who had 30 points and 12 rebounds to help the Bucks overcome Grayson Allen's ejection and beat the Bulls 94-90 this past weekend.

"At the end of the day, a win is a win," Antetokounmpo said. "We did the right things. We created good habits tonight."
Coach Mike Budenholzer added, "We talk about versatility in a lot of different ways. And I think you've got to be versatile in the kind of games you can win. I'm very proud of the guys, for them to find a way to win tonight. We had to earn that."
The Knicks, by contrast, are struggling to keep themselves in Playoff contention, with a 102-91 home loss to the New Orleans Pelicans last week underlining their issues.

Leading scorer Julius Randle shot just 1 of 9 from the field and scored four points. "When things aren't going our way Julius is going to take a lot of the blame," coach Tom Thibodeau said. "But, it's a team game and we have to get out of it as a team. It wasn't one particular play or incident. Things just weren't going our way."
In head-to-head stats, the Bucks and the Knicks have met in 223 Regular Season games since 1968-69, with Milwaukee claiming 118 wins compared to 105 for New York. The teams’ last Regular Season meeting was in December 2021, with the Bucks winning 112-97 away thanks to 24 points from Khris Middleton.
