Game Preview
The Kings are 18-16 at home and 28-19 as a favorite. Sacramento is 4-6 in its last 10 games, averaging 115.4 points, 40.3 rebounds, 27.2 assists, 6.9 steals, and 3.8 blocks per game while shooting 48.4% from the field.
Sacramento holds the ninth seed in the Western Conference and is beginning a challenging three-game stretch, which also features the Boston Celtics and Oklahoma City Thunder.
The Kings fell to 2-1 on their seven-game homestand with a 128-116 loss to the Chicago Bulls on Thursday. Malik Monk led Sacramento with 34 points, but the team was still worse in the paint without Domantas Sabonis.
“There’s a lot there that’s unacceptable,” Kings coach Doug Christie said. “You can’t just let people come into your house and do what they want. Super, super disappointed. And I told them this one should hurt. It should hurt if you care about it.”
Meanwhile, the Bucks 16-18 away and 7-14 when playing as the underdog. Milwaukee is 5-5 in its past 10 contests, averaging 116.9 points, 45.1 rebounds, 25.3 assists, 7.5 steals, and 4.3 blocks per game while shooting 49% from the floor.
Milwaukee sits fifth in the Eastern Conference with 13 games to play. The Bucks continue their season-long five-game road trip with a matchup against the Kings on Saturday.
The Bucks opened the trip with a disappointing 104-93 loss to the Golden State Warriors before defeating the short-handed Los Angeles Lakers by a final score of 118-89 on Thursday.
Giannis Antetokounmpo scored 28 points and Gary Trent Jr. added 23 for the Bucks, who capitalized on a night when the Lakers played without five of their top six scorers.
Per ESPN’s Basketball Power Index, the Kings have a 63.4% chance of defeating Milwaukee. The Bucks are 16-1 in their last 17 meetings with Sacramento, while Sactown is 6-3 in its past nine games played at home on a Saturday.
