Expert picks and predictions for Sunday Bucks vs. knicks
NBC Sports Bet Best Bet
Brad Thomas ( @MrBradThomas ) expects Josh Hart to fill the stat sheet: Josh Hart Triple Double (+1200)
“Hart has come close to a triple-double in back-to-back games against the Bucks. He’s had 9 boards in both and a respectable 7 and 9 assists. The Bucks give up a ton of boards to the guards and small forward positions. Which it makes sense why Hart has been close in back-to-back games.”
