The Knicks are 12-14 in the first 26 games of the season, but had started out the year 5-1 in their first six games. 

Since the hot start, they have struggled, and if the playoffs were to begin on Sunday they would not be in the playoffs.  

As for the Bucks, they are coming off of a win over the Houston Rockets, and have a 17-10 record in their first 27 games of the season.
