The current betting odds have the Bucks listed as a 1 point underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Bucks have looked really good in their games this season with their 42-23 record overall which has them right near the top of the East right now with one of the best records in the entire NBA. They haven't been at their best in their road games this season but they haven't been a terrible road team either with their 17-16 road record. Meanwhile, the Kings have looked good in their games this season with their 36-27 record overall which has them in a play-in spot for the playoffs in the West right now and also right on the cusp of a true playoff spot. They have been good on their home court this season with their 17-12 home record, but they still haven't been a really strong team in those games. They have looked good in their games lately with their 6-4 record in their last 10 games, but they have also been really up and down during that time, coming off a home loss in their last one too. The Bucks have been the hotter team coming into this one with their 7-3 record in their last 10 games and they just won their last one on the road too so they have some of their momentum back from that win. The Bucks have been a completely different team in their games lately as they still look to chase down the number 1 seed in the East and they are going to continue rolling here against an inconsistent Kings team. The best way to place a bet here is on the Bucks to cover the spread in this game.
