Kings at Bucks picks and predictions

Prediction

Kings 119, Bucks 111

Moneyline

The KINGS (+115) are a good play as short ‘dogs on the road, as they come in red-hot with the 7 consecutive victories.

The Bucks (-140) haven’t been nearly as consistent, and they had their doors blown off by the Knicks last time out.

Against the spread

It doesn’t make a lot of sense to back the Kings +2.5 (-110) instead of the moneyline, unless, of course, you’re absolutely convinced that the Bucks -2.5 (-110) are going to win, but only by 1 or 2 points. If you like Sacramento, it’s a much better value to take it on the moneyline.

AVOID.

Over/Under

OVER 228.5 (-115) is worth playing lightly, but don’t get carried and only go with a half-unit play at most.

The Bucks have cashed high in 3 of the past 4 games, going for 121 or more points in 2 of those outings, while allowing 140 points last time out.

For the Kings, the total has ended up going high in 4 of the past 5 outings after what had been an Under run for Sacramento. The Kings have scored 123 or more points in 4 of the previous 5 contests, while coughing up at least 118 points in 3 of the previous 5 games.
