Kings vs. Bucks Pick
Kings vs. Bucks Spread Pick
- Bucks -6 (4 units)
Sacramento is off to a rough start with four losses in their first five games to open the season. Missing Murray has thrown off the rotation for the Kings, and not having Monk in this one takes another key contributor out of the mix. We saw the Bucks down the Knicks and Warriors at home in their last two contests, the latter with Antetokounmpo in street clothes. Rollins has been terrific in the first 10 days of the season, and Milwaukee is obviously more dangerous if the Greek Freak is on the floor. Sacramento has had issues offensively so far this season, and the Bucks have two straight wins. Take Milwaukee at home here.
Kings vs. Bucks Over/Under Pick
- Over 232.5 (4 units)
Sacramento enters this game having gone over the total in three of its five games this season. The Kings are 26th in scoring offense, 27th in offensive efficiency, and 15th in terms of pace as they average 101.1 possessions a night this season. Two of their three road games have gone over the number. Milwaukee has seen the over post a 4-1 mark in their first four games this season. The Bucks are eighth in the league in scoring offense, ninth in offensive efficiency and 7th in adjusted tempo with an average of 102.9 possessions a night this season. With the way the Bucks are clicking offensively and the Kings’ having some ups and downs, this game winds up squeezing over the total.
