The Bucks have now lost 6 straight games and are 1-9 this season.

They bring that skid to a Knicks team that has won 3 straight. On Saturday, Jalen Brunson scored 31 points on the road against the Cavaliers, 18 of them in the second quarter, and New York won 109-97. Karl-Anthony Towns added 29 points and 13 rebounds.
