Bucks vs Kings Preview
Milwaukee will travel to Sacramento on Wednesday for a battle versus the Kings. For the latest NBA betting trends and NBA free picks on Wednesday’s game, check out our Bucks vs Kings preview below.
Lopez Is Back For Milwaukee
The Milwaukee Bucks were able to get Brook Lopez back and they welcomed him with open arms. It was clear that Milwaukee was missing him mightily for the entire season as he was only able to play in one game this year and that was at the beginning of the season before having back surgery.
With him on the court against the Utah Jazz, the Milwaukee Bucks just looked like a much better team. Lopez isn’t somebody who is going to go out there and score 20 points every night, but he is one of the best rim protectors in the NBA and that’s exactly what Milwaukee needs at the moment.
Milwaukee was able to get its first win over the Utah Jazz on Monday in over 20 years. Giannis Antetokounmpo led the way with 30 points and 15 rebounds.
Kings Coming Off Good Win
The Sacramento Kings are also going to be coming into this one after a great win against the Chicago Bulls. Sacramento is currently the 13th seed in the Western Conference, but they do still have an outside shot of sneaking into that number 10 seed, which would put them in the playoffs.
They were able to beat the Bulls by nine points on Monday as De’Aaron Fox led the way with 34 points.
Sacramento is going to be coming in with the 25th rated net rating, the 21st rated offensive rating, and the 28th rated defensive rating.

Free NBA Picks — Bucks vs Kings
For this game, I’m going to go with the Milwaukee Bucks to cover the spread and for Giannis Antetokounmpo to have 25 plus points.
The Kings were able to add Domantas Sabonis over the NBA trade deadline, but he has never had a history of getting stops on Giannis Antetokounmpo. I think that Giannis is going to be able to do his usual thing and get to the basket at will and secure the Bucks this win.
