Knicks Try to Buck Trend

The Milwaukee Bucks (1-2) enter the Garden tonight on the back end of a two game stretch that saw them fall last night to the Raptors 91-89. The team has shown a balanced offensive attack with all five starters averaging double figures led by Michael Redd (23ppg) and a yet another team with shot-blocking prowess led by Andrew Bogut (1.0 bpg). However, looking at the team’s stats, it appears to be a good match- up for the Knicks, who are looking to bounce back from a 29-point drubbing at the hands of the 76ers Friday night.

Rumors a swirling that Zach Randolph may miss the game with a knee, so the team, already thin up front, will have to find a way to pick up the scoring and rebounding load.

Chris Duhon, and the Knick guards, will have their hands full tonight with rising star Ramon “school’s in” Sessions, who comes into the game with an impressive 4.5-to-1 assist-to-turnover ratio and orchestrating the offense with 9 assists-per-game to go along with his 12 points.

This game will have to be won on the perimeter as the Bucks are allowing opponents to shoot 41% from behind the arc on 11 attempts. The Knicks are averaging 30% on 25 attempts.

The Bucks can be handled on the boards, meaning the Knicks should be able to get second opportunities, something they didn’t get many of in Philly. The Knicks have allowed an average of 54 rebounds per game, and the Bucks come in grabbing 36 per contest. If Randolph goes, that number should be a major factor.

Rookie Joe Alexander has yet to see any action in the team’s first 3 games, but may be called on tonight on the second night of back-to-back games.
