Both teams are battling for better playoff positions, making this game critical for their postseason hopes. The Bucks, holding the fifth spot in the Eastern Conference with a 39-30 record, dominated the Lakers 118-89 in their last game. Giannis Antetokounmpo led the charge with 28 points, but Milwaukee will be without Damian Lillard due to injury and Bobby Portis due to suspension, which could weaken their depth.
Meanwhile, the Kings, ranked ninth in the Western Conference at 35-34, have struggled recently, dropping four of their last ten games. They lost 128-116 to the Bulls in their previous matchup and will be missing Domantas Sabonis, who is sidelined with an ankle injury—a significant setback for their frontcourt.
This matchup is expected to be tightly contested, with the Kings slightly favored by 1 point due to their home-court advantage. The over/under is set at 227.5 points, suggesting a high-scoring battle. Milwaukee’s chances could improve if Giannis Antetokounmpo and Gary Trent Jr., both listed as probable, play at full strength. On the other hand, the Kings must rely on De’Aaron Fox and their supporting cast to compensate for Sabonis’ absence. With both teams facing injuries and inconsistencies, the game could come down to the final moments.
Considering these factors, the Kings might narrowly defeat the Bucks, benefiting from their home-court edge and Milwaukee’s missing players. A projected score of Kings 115, Bucks 114 highlights how evenly matched these teams are despite their challenges.
