WHAT IT MEANS: Just call Steve Novak the Homecoming King.

Novak, a Wisconsin native, returned home Wednesday night and put on a show for the locals. He poured in a season-high 19 points and five 3-pointers in the Knicks’ blowout road win, 102-88 over the Milwaukee Bucks.

It was Novak’s second strong game in the Knicks’ past three; he also had five threes in the Knicks’ win Sunday over Detroit. He seems to have shaken his early-season slump — a good sign for the short-handed Knicks.

The Dallas Mavericks (7-8) travel to United Center to face the Chicago Bulls (6-7) at 8 p.m. ET on Wednesday, November 28.

With former MVPs Derrick Rose and Dirk Nowitzki sidelined, this is a matchup of two franchises struggling to find an identity without their leaders.

Chicago is hoping to eliminate the sour taste following Monday night’s debacle against the Milwaukee Bucks. The Bulls surrendered a 27-point second-half lead in a 93-92 home loss to the same Bucks team they had beaten in Milwaukee just two nights before.

Dallas enters tonight’s game in the midst of a two-game skid. They were obliterated by Mike D’Antoni’s Lakers 115-89 on Saturday night, then suffered a crushing 100-98 loss to the 76ers in Philadelphia last night.
