Prediction
Bucks 129, Kings 120
Money line (ML)
This will be the 11th time this season the Kings play on no rest. They are 3-7 in such games, while the Bucks are 3-3. The Kings are 4-9 this season as home underdogs while the Bucks are 13-9 when favored on the road. It is a chalky pick, but the line isn’t too bad, so take BUCKS -275.

Against the spread (ATS)
Both the Bucks and Kings have not been good ATS bets. The Bucks are 22-26 ATS overall, while the Kings are 22-27 ATS. The Bucks are 6-6 ATS in their last 12 games favored by at least 6.5 points. The Kings are 4-9 ATS as home dogs this season. Take the BUCKS -6.5 (-110).
Over/Under (O/U)
Both teams have their games regularly go Over the total. The Bucks are No. 2 in the league with a 59.6% Over percentage and the Kings are tied for sixth at 57.1%. However, both teams have had three of their last four games go Under. The numbers say the smarter bet, though, is to take OVER 239.5 (-110).
