Kings at Bucks picks and predictions
Prediction
Bucks 123, Kings 119
Moneyline
The Bucks (-250) will cost you 2 1/2 times your potential return, and that’s just too expensive, even for a Milwaukee side that has been playing very good basketball of late.
AVOID.
Against the spread
The KINGS +6.5 (-105) are a solid play on the road in a difficult place. Sacramento is a fantastic offensive team, and it streaks in on a 3-game win and cover streak.
Sacramento has cashed at a 14-5-1 ATS clip across the past 20 games on the road dating back to last season while going 10-2 ATS in the past 12 games following a straight-up win.
The Bucks are just 1-6-1 ATS in the past 8 games after a straight-up win.
Over/Under
OVER 234.5 (-110) is a rather high number, but it might be the best play on the board.
The Over is 13-3 in the past 16 games against winning teams for the Kings, while going 5-0 in the past 5 at home for the Bucks.
The Over is also a whopping 22-5 in the previous 27 meetings between these sides, including 9-0 in the past 9 meetings in Milwaukee. Yes, the personnel have changed a lot over the years since those trends started, but are you betting against heavy numbers like that?
