Sacramento Kings vs Milwaukee Bucks Prediction: Two high-scoring teams

The NBA Postseason is one of the most exciting times as it brings us amazing battles where the intensity gets to another level. There are teams that are not worried about clinching a spot because their play has been brilliant from the start and has helped them elevate the level. One such team, the Milwaukee Bucks will take on the high-scoring Sacramento Kings.

Milwaukee Bucks

The Bucks come into this game after losing 116:125 to the Golden State Warriors in Overtime despite a great combined team effort. The Bucks didn’t have their ace Giannis Antetokounmpo but their depth almost pulled it off before Curry got hot. The Bucks had won three in a row before the loss and had won nine in a row on the road too. The Bucks are having another stunning season, having acquired 48 wins and 19 losses. They are at the top of the East and once Giannis returns, their prospects in the Playoffs will look richer. Can the Bucks win their second title in three seasons?

Sacramento Kings

The Kings enter the game after one of their most impressive wins this season, defeating the Suns 128:119 in one of the most balanced scoring efforts you’ll ever see. They have now won three in a row and have acquired a scoring balance that had been missing for more than 15 years. The Kings have now won four in a row away from and they have jumped to 40 wins and 26 losses which is a similar record to Grizzlies in what has become an exciting battle for the second spot in the West.
