The Knicks return to Madison Square Garden after their trip to Cleveland’s Rocket Arena, where they earned a deserved win over Atkinson’s side.
Jalen Brunson and Karl Anthony-Towns combined for 60 points to win 109-97, their third straight victory.
Anything other than another win tonight will be a resounding failure.
It is worth remembering that the Wisconsin side have not won since 27 October and are bottom of the East with a record of 1-9.

Bucks vs Knicks starting fives
The only doubt is on the home side with Josh Hart, who is nursing a mild ankle sprain. If he is ultimately unavailable, sharpshooter Landry Shamet will start again in his place.
So far this season he is averaging 9.3 points on 42% from three in 25.3 minutes per night.

Bucks vs Knicks: best bet
The Knickerbockers are clear favourites to claim a fourth straight win and keep climbing the East standings.
The Milwaukee team are a real disaster and, despite the good haul obtained for Giannis, they just cannot get going even after the change of coach.
They are bottom of the East with a record of 1-9 and their only win came on 27 October against Rick Carlisle’s Indiana Pacers.
They are conceding almost 122 points per game with a negative differential of -13.2 points per night.
Latest Bucks news: absences and form
The only confirmed absence for the visitors is guard Gary Trent Jr., who is carrying a groin injury.
It is worth remembering that this summer he inexplicably re-signed for four years and $64 million, a move currently being investigated by the NBA because it makes no sense whatsoever.
In fact, he has played only two games, with 3 points in 7 minutes of action.
Player to watch: Tyler Herro
The few positives, if there is anything to highlight, is the performance of Tyler Herro, who has not hesitated to embrace the role of leading scorer since his trade to the Bucks was completed.
Herro is averaging 22 points, 4.6 rebounds and 4.3 assists in 30 minutes per night.
Latest Knicks news: absences and form
Guard Josh Hart will again be a late doubt because of an ankle sprain. His place in the starting five is going to his team-mate Shamet.
Player to watch: Karl Anthony-Towns
Without doubt the Knicks’ standout player so far this season, with 9 consecutive double-doubles. Will the tenth come tonight?
The Dominican big man, whose long-term future is still unresolved, is putting up numbers of 21 points, 13.9 rebounds and 3.1 assists per night.
