The Milwaukee Bucks are looking to bounce back after losing to the Golden State Warriors on Saturday night, and they’re hoping to have Giannis Antetokounmpo (questionable) back in the lineup.
Milwaukee is on the road against the Sacramento Kings, who are 8-2 in their last 10 games and have won three straight.
The Kings are solid as home dogs so far this season, and they find themselves in that spot again tonight. Milwaukee has the best record in the NBA, and the team has been dominant with Khris Middleton in the lineup, going 19-5.
Let’s dive into the odds and pick for this matchup:
Bucks vs. Kings odds, spread and total
Bucks vs. Kings prediction and pick
Even though Giannis Antetokounmpo’s status is up in the air for this game, I still love the Bucks to at least come away with a win.
Milwaukee has been elite when favored on the road this season, going 13-5-2 against the spread. Only the New York Knicks have a better record as road favorites this season.
Milwaukee ranks No. 2 in net rating over its last 10 games, slightly ahead of the Kings (sixth).
The Kings have an elite offense, but Milwaukee, when healthy, has a ton of wing defenders (Jae Crowder, Joe Ingles, etc.) to slow down this high-powered attack, plus Brook Lopez is about as good of a matchup for Domantas Sabonis that you’ll find.
I’ll trust the Bucks to bounce back in Sacramento.
