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