The Milwaukee Bucks and the Sacramento Kings duke it out at the Golden 1 Center on Saturday night.
The Milwaukee Bucks have been in great shape as they’ve won 10 of their past 13 games and they will be looking for a third straight win after last night’s 127-109 road win over the Trailblazers. Giannis Antetokounmpo led the team with 47 points, 12 rebounds and three blocks, Jrue Holiday added 22 points with 10 assists while Khris Middleton added 20 points with seven rebounds and eight assists. As a team, the Bucks shot 54 percent from the field and 12 of 39 from the 3-point line as they stormed out of the gates to an early double-digit lead with 34 points in the first quarter, before making it a blowout with a 37-20 third quarter to lead by as many as 24 points.
Meanwhile, the Sacramento Kings have been in decent form themselves as they’ve won seven of their past 10 games, but they will be hoping to avoid a third straight defeat after falling to the Lakers in a 115-94 home loss last night. Harrison Barnes led the team with 26 points, five rebounds and five assists, Delon Wright added 13 points while De’Aaron Fox chipped in with 12 points and five assists. As a team, the Kings shot just 42 percent from the field and 10 of 35 from the 3-point line as they allowed 36 points in the second quarter to fall behind by 12 points at halftime, before getting blown off the floor in the fourth quarter where they managed just 18 points. De’Aaron Fox shot just five of 20 from the field while Buddy Hield shot just three of 11 from the field.
Looking at the betting trends, the Bucks are 2-7 ATS in their last nine road games, 2-5 ATS in their last seven games as a favorite and 1-4 ATS in their last five games overall. The Kings are 3-8 ATS in their last 11 home games, 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games against a team with a winning record and 0-4 ATS in their last four games against a team above .600.
Head to head, the over is 22-7 in the last 29 meetings overall, the Bucks are 10-4 ATS in the last 14 meetings in Sacramento and the Bucks are 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings overall.
The Kings were playing some inspirational basketball during their five-game win streak, but they’ve since cooled off with a couple of losses on the trot, while the Bucks are coming into this one red-hot as they just took down the Trailblazers on the back of 47 points from Antetokounmpo. The Bucks are 10-4 ATS in the last 14 meetings overall and I think they get the win and cover in this one.
