The New York Knicks will face the Milwaukee Bucks tonight in an NBA game that will be free live streaming from the Harris Bradley Center in Milwaukee at 8:00 PM ET.
New York (19-28) had its four-game winning streak ended Saturday with a 106-91 loss to Miami. That concluded a 4-4 homestand that matched the longest in franchise history.
J.R. Smith turned in his latest strong game with 20 points, but the Knicks outscored 48-30 in the paint and let the Heat shoot 53.9 percent.
The Knicks, who have matched last season's loss total, found plenty of baskets in different ways in their two wins over the Bucks (8-39) this season. They shot 50.7 percent while scoring 50 points in the paint during their season-opening 90-83 home victory Oct. 30, then made a season high-tying 17 3-pointers in the most recent win, 107-101 in double overtime at Milwaukee on Dec. 18.
Knicks guard Iman Shumpert could miss his third straight game due to a sprained right shoulder.
If Anthony and the Knicks can shoot 50 percent, they would appear to have a good chance at a victory. New York is 9-0 when making at least half its shots, while Milwaukee is 0-13 when opponents make half of theirs.
The Bucks, the only NBA team with a single-digit win total, are trying to avoid their third losing streak of at least seven games as they seek their second win in 17 contests. They were swept on a two-game road swing, losing 99-90 to Memphis on Saturday.
Brandon Knight, averaging career highs of 16.1 points and 4.7 assists, scored 36 -- the second-highest total of his career -- and hit six 3-pointers against New York in December.
It is uncertain if O.J. Mayo, Milwaukee's second-leading scorer at 12.2 points per game, will miss his fifth straight contest after not making the trip due to illness.
