Giannis is the central matchup arrow in this one. The Knicks lack a single defender who can consistently stop his downhill assault without heavy help, which plays directly into his scoring and rebounding profile. Expect Milwaukee to feed him early in post actions and pick-and-rolls, where he’s most efficient; those high-value looks plus the tendency to draw help create both finishing chances and kick-out opportunities that keep him involved on every trip.

New York’s plan to slow the game actually helps Giannis’ counting stats. When the Knicks pack the paint and limit pace, offensive possessions become more contested around the rim but also generate more long rebounds and tougher contested shots that Giannis is excellent at cleaning up. Fewer possessions means each play is more valuable, and Giannis’ usage spikes in clutch and half-court sets — exactly when he racks up the rebound-and-score combos that push this line higher.

Matchup context and usage trends matter. Milwaukee leans on Giannis in physical matchups where perimeter shooters are limited, and the Bucks will turn to him if New York’s wing defenders sag or if the Knicks try to throw small-ball bodies at him. Expect extended minutes in key stretches; Giannis averages more rebounds and points per minute when he’s the focal point, and the Knicks’ defensive rotations create the favorable box-out opportunities he converts into second-chance points.

Primary risks: foul trouble or an unusually efficient Knicks defensive night that forces Milwaukee to diversify scoring. Those are possible, but the baseline scenario—Giannis sees heavy volume, attacks the rim, and cleans the glass—has a high probability. Back the over: usage, matchup, and game script align to give Giannis a clear path to 44+ combined points and rebounds.
