The Kings are 2-7 ATS in their last 9 Saturday games and 0-7 ATS in their last 7 road games.

The Milwaukee Bucks are obviously the better team here and will get the benefit of the doubt, but they’ve also been shaky these last couple of weeks, and they’re on the end of a back to back here. The Sacramento Kings have the rest advantage and while they’ve been subpar at best, they only lose on the road by an average of 5.8 points. The Bucks are 9-14 against the spread at home. Give me the Kings and the free buckets if forced to pick.
