Giannis Antetokounmpo leads the Milwaukee Bucks in points, rebounds and assists.
Julius Randle, same.
The two meet up Friday in Milwaukee, as the Bucks host the New York Knicks. Pregame on WKTY begins at 6 p.m. Tune in on 96.7 FM / 580 AM.
Antetokounmpo is averaging 27.4 points on 53.4% shooting, along with 10.8 rebounds and 6.4 assists. While Randle is at 20.6 points, hitting a dismal 41.5% from the field to go with 11.3 rebounds and 5.9 assists.
New York (5-3) is the fourth-highest scoring team in the NBA (113.0), while the Bucks are in the exact middle at 15 (109.4). Most of the damage done by the Knicks comes from beyond the arc, where they’re second in the NBA at 15.1 3-pointers made per game, shooting 39.3 percent — also second in the league.
The Bucks 10th in the league in 3s made and free throws made, but in the bottom half in every other offensive category. That, however, makes quite a bit of sense.
Despite having Finals MVP Antetokounmpo in the lineup, Jrue Holiday, Khris Middleton and Brook Lopez have been out a majority of games this season, along with multiple other role players.
A win Friday against the Knicks would be impressive for Milwaukee if those key starters are still out.
