Milwaukee Bucks vs Sacramento Kings Prediction
I’m not excited to lay a decent number with the Bucks on the road, but I’m going to continue fading the Kings. With just 8 wins on the season, the Kings are also 12-22-1 ATS on the season. The Kings are 0-4 SU and ATS in their last 4 games, and they’ve shown no effort defensively. The Kings are getting destroyed and look like a team that’s just not excited to be out there. Also, a revenge spot for the Bucks, who lost to the Kings in early November as a 6.5-point favorite. With an angry Antetokounmpo leading the way, the Bucks should win this game against a Kings side that’s not playing with effort these days.
