Milwaukee Bucks host the NY Knicks. A match between two teams without any playoff hopes. The Bucks have their center Bogut out with a nasal problem, while the Knicks are without Curry, Marbury, Randolph is questionable but he will probably not play, while Robinson returned in the last match but had limited minutes, so i guess tonight he won't be in a full-form also. This makes it a very tricky match to bet on, but i tend to incline the balance in favor of the Knicks covering the 7.5 points spread. Nevertheless, i will stay off that bet and would rather go on Jamal Crawford to perform well again in the absence of 3 of 4 of his fellow starters.

In the last 4 games, he has had some very good performances:

- 26 points against the Nets while shooting 8 of 22

- 24 points against the Heat while shooting 8 of 21

- 26 points against the Raptors while shooting 8 of 17

- 39 points against the Hawks while shooting 14 of 25, including 7 of 10 from outside the paint

In the two meetings with the Bucks, he has had the following performances:

- in the 91-88 home win from November, he had 25 points while shooting 10 of 24; his team was injury-free, but still he had the necessary shots in that game

- in the 99-98 away win from February, he had 30 points while shooting 11 of 23; the team was missing Marbury and Robinson only.

Tonight, Curry and possibly Randolph are added to that injury list, while Bucks center will be out. The Knicks should get enough balls, which will no doubt go to Crawford after his performance in the last game. I believe he will shoot worse than against the Hawks, but with enough balls at hand, i believe he can get about 30 points tonight. Good luck.
