Kings vs Bucks NBA Preview
Giannis Antetokounmpo missed Thursday's game due to left knee soreness, and the Bucks didn't skip a beat at home against the Warriors in a 120-110 win.
Of course, it took a 32-point career game from Ryan Rollins, a former Warrior, to pull that off, but the rest of the team stepped up, with eight players scoring in double figures.
Giannis is listed as questionable for today's game. After such a strong performance and given the Bucks' home matchup against a Sacramento team that has struggled on this road trip, there is no need to risk the star forward.
The chances that Milwaukee repeats such an offensive display without Giannis on the floor decrease, particularly in the case of Rollins, but they should still come out on top.
The Kings have lost four of five games to start the season and are 28th in the NBA in points per game at 111.0.
Giannis Antetokounmpo averaged 36.3 points in the first four games before being sidelined, and you cannot consistently replace that production.
That's why the under looks like an excellent pick for today's game, as our Bet Labs system recommends.
Kings vs Bucks Prediction, Betting Analysis
This system focuses on NBA regular-season games where sharp money and early line movement signal value on the under.
When totals drop from open to close despite a large share of public action favoring the over, it indicates that professional bettors see inefficiency in inflated lines.
Early-season games often feature uneven offensive rhythm, tighter defense, and limited chemistry, which tend to suppress scoring more than expected.
By aligning with market movement rather than public sentiment, this approach capitalizes on situations where the betting line corrects toward realistic pace and efficiency expectations, producing consistent returns before the market fully adjusts to early-season performance trends.
Pick: Under 232 (-110, bet365)
