The Sacramento Kings will be at home against the Milwaukee Bucks for their next NBA regular season assignment. They come to this match sitting seventh in the Western Conference while the Bucks are second in the East. The Kings haven't won against the Bucks since 2016 and will be eager to end this losing streak. Mike Brown’s men have however struggled with their form recently and will need to be at their absolute best to get the win. The Kings have lost four times in their last seven games and are coming off a defeat. Three of those losses have come with them as the home team. Sacramento were defeated 112-104 last time out by the Rockets at their Golden 1 Centre Arena. This was their 27th loss of the season and saw them drop one game from the automatic playoff places. Keegan Murray is questionable for this game as he is dealing with an ankle problem. The Kings have averaged 121.7 points over their last three matches. They have also given up an almost similar number in the same period.

The Bucks got back to winning ways last time out to end a tough start to a four-game trip to the West. Doc Rivers’ men had lost back-to-back games before earning a 124-117 victory over the Clippers in LA. The win ensured they won both regular season matchups with the Clips having defeated them earlier this month at home. They have now improved their record to 42-23 and are one game clear of their closest challengers for second place. Giannis Antentokounmpo has been dealing with right knee tendinitis but is probable to suit up here. Long-term absentee Khris Middleton has been upgraded to questionable and this is a big boost for the team. MarJon Beauchamp also has a 50% chance to play. The Bucks have allowed 121.7 points over their last three matches and have averaged 112 points over the same period.
