New York Knicks @ Milwaukee Bucks – 7:30PM ET

Tony Battalio

It has been a respectable start to the regular season for the New York Knicks and they will be looking for a huge victory here on Tuesday night on the road in Milwaukee. A victory in this game would give New York a huge momentum boost and an early season statement victory as well as a spot in the semifinals of this tournament. They had a rough start of the year, but they have picked it up over the last couple of weeks and they will look to keep them momentum, rolling with another quality performance here in this one, as they look to take down one of the best teams in the league in one of the hardest venues in the league to play at. The New York Knicks come into this game with 12 victories through their first 19 games of the regular season and they will be looking for their 13th one of the year here on Tuesday night on the road against the Milwaukee Bucks.

It has been a fantastic start of the year for the Milwaukee Bucks, despite some ups and downs throughout the first month of the season. Damian Lillard and Giannis Antetokounmpo are finally starting to develop plenty of chemistry out on the court, which is a very dangerous thing for the other 29 teams in the league. This Milwaukee Bucks team is arguably the favorite to win the NBA championship when they are healthy and consistent and at the moment they are doing both of those things. Milwaukee comes into this game looking to get a quarterfinals victory in this game against the New York Knicks on Tuesday at home as they look to keep the momentum rolling throughout the early part of December. Milwaukee has plenty of momentum coming into this game as they have picked up four victories and their previous five games and I expect them to get another victory here on Tuesday night at home against the New York Knicks. 

Phoenix Suns @ Los Angeles Lakers – 10PM ET

Tony Battalio

It has been a solid start of the year for the Phoenix Suns but if this team could remain healthy and consistent, they would be one of the most feared teams in the league. That is something they’ve had a lot of trouble with throughout the early part of the year as Bradley Beal has missed a lot of time, and he has barely appeared for the Phoenix Suns this season. That means Kevin Durant and Devin Booker will have to carry the load throughout this game against the Los Angeles Lakers on Tuesday night at Phoenix wants to pick up a quarterfinals victory in Los Angeles. Phoenix comes into this game with 12 victories through their first 20 games of the regular season and they will be looking for a crucial momentum boosting victory here on Tuesday night on the road. They have a little bit of momentum coming into this game after picking up a victory over the Memphis Grizzlies in their previous contest. 

The Los Angeles Lakers come into this game looking to get a solid quarterfinals victory here at home against the Phoenix Suns on Tuesday night. LeBron James and Anthony Davis have been carrying the load for this team throughout the early part of the regular season and they will be looking to do so once again here on Tuesday as Los Angeles looks to advance to the semifinals of this tournament. The Los Angeles Lakers come into this game with 12 victories through their first 21 games of the regular season and they will be looking for win number 13 here on Tuesday against a solid Phoenix team. This will be the third matchup of the season between these two teams and so far the Los Angeles Lakers have picked up victories in both of them and they will be hoping to complete the 3 peat with another quality performance here on Tuesday night. That is exactly what I expect as I look for the Los Angeles Lakers to pick up another victory over Phoenix here in this game at home.
