Knicks vs Milwaukee Prediction 11 November 2026

The hosts are playing like reigning champions, with five wins in six games. They recently beat Cleveland 109-97. Their only defeat in that stretch came against Philadelphia (93-98). The Knicks are still far from ideal in many respects, particularly on offence, where they score just 109.9 points per game. Brown’s side are capable of much more, especially as they go into this game without any significant losses in attack. Their focus on three-point shooting could pay off at home against a Milwaukee side that defends poorly: the Knicks are making 36.1% of their three-point shots, and they could improve on that figure.

New York are good defensively, allowing 104.2 points per game. However, that statistic is largely down to games against teams accustomed to slowing the game down. The Bucks are unlikely to fall into that category, so the hosts should get plenty of shot attempts. But they will probably also concede more points than usual.

Milwaukee are in a prolonged slump, having lost nine of their last 10 games. Their recent game against Boston ended in a heavy 97-117 defeat, following a 107-121 loss to Toronto. There is simply no clear sign that the Bucks are about to turn things around. But Milwaukee are a team that rely heavily on shots from long range. They average 43.6 three-point attempts per game, the second-highest figure in the league. Given that even their centre, Turner, shoots from beyond the arc, we could see a three-point shootout against New York.

Milwaukee’s points differential is particularly poor. They score 108.4 points per game and concede 121.6. The team have major problems organising their defence, and such a strong opponent will certainly take advantage. Notably, the Bucks are one of the league’s best teams in offensive rebounding, which gives them opportunities for second-chance points.
