NEW YORK (AP) — The New York Knicks will be without Jalen Brunson and both primary backups tonight at Milwaukee, leaving them without their top three point guards in the potential playoff preview.

Deuce McBride (left groin) and Cam Payne (sprained right ankle) were ruled out Thursday by the Knicks, who will be without Brunson for an 11th straight game because of his sprained right ankle.

McBride has missed the last three games with his injury. Payne started Wednesday against the Los Angeles Clippers, but hurt his ankle in the first half. He remained in the game and scored 15 points in the first half, but didn’t return after halftime.

Tyler Kolek, a rookie from Marquette, could get his first NBA start in the city where he played in college.

The Bucks are also without their top point guard, with Damian Lillard sidelined because of deep vein thrombosis in his right calf.
