This is a sneaky find. The Kings are at home where they average 30.7 points in the opening quarter. They find themselves against a Bucks team that allows the ninth most points in the opening quarter. Milwaukee is now under Doc Rivers instead of Adrian Griffin but their pace of play remains very comparable.
Milwaukee Bucks vs. Sacramento Kings Prediction
The Bucks have allowed this in three of their last four games and have allowed an average of 33.75 first quarter points in that span. They were playing the Clippers, Lakers and Warriors who all score less in the first quarter than Sacramento. These teams have faced off once this year and the Kings opened with a 37 point quarter.
The Kings have scored 30+ points in the opening quarter in 13 of their last 17 games. Keegan Murray is a game time decision but outside of that the team is healthy. This is the first leg of a back to back, but it seems that they aren’t resting anyone during the midst of their playoff race. This is a good find and I can live with the result no matter what happens. Let's roll!
