10* UNDER Knicks/Bucks (EAST-CONF NON DIV TOM)

Both teams have been involved in several higher-scoring games of late, but we're definitely expecting a really defensive battle here on Tuesday night. The Knicks are 12-7, including 6-4 on the road, while the Bucks are 14-6, including 9-1 at home. The Knicks are off three straight wins, which is significant to note here as NY has in fact seen the total go "under" the number in seven of its last ten after three or more SU victories in a row. Milwaukee is off the 132-121 win over ATL, and it's now seen the total go OVER in three straight, which is also important to take note of, as the Bucks have in fact seen the total go "under" the number in eight of their last 12 after playing to three or more straight "overs" in a row. When these teams played here back in early November, the Bucks won 110-115; we're expecting an even tighter defensive battle this time around, making the "under" the correct call as far as the total is concerned!
