Bucks to face Anthony, Knicks this evening

NEW YORK - It looks like the Milwaukee Bucks will face Carmelo Anthony for the second time in eight days, when they play the New York Knicks tonight at Madison Square Garden.

Anthony helped the Denver Nuggets defeat the Bucks last Wednesday night in Milwaukee. Yesterday, he was the center-piece of a three-team deal – and he’ll be cleared to play for New York this evening once he passes a physical. Anthony, a forward who hails from New York, averages just over 25 points a game – and he has scored over 30 points in eight career outings at the Garden.

The Knicks come in at 28-26. The Bucks are 22-34, and they’re coming off a six-point home victory over Minnesota last night. Milwaukee has won its last four games against the Knicks, and the Bucks have not lost at Madison Square Garden since November of 2007.
