• Kings vs Bucks Hottest Team in the NBA

    Hottest Team in the NBA: Sacramento Kings

    We have the single hottest team in the NBA right now catching points on the road tonight. What are we gonna do with the Sacramento Kings as they take on the Bucks? Let’s break it down. we appreciate the comments. Let me know if you think I’m right or wrong in my analysis for this game.

    Sacramentoโ€™s Transformation Under Doug Christie

    This team has been transformed since Mike Brown was fired and replaced by Doug Christie as head coach. They have seven straight wins, including outright upsets on the road at Boston and Golden State. They’ve won the first two on this road trip. Sacramento has an interesting history with Milwaukee; they haven’t won here since 2015.

    Last Yearโ€™s Thriller Against Milwaukee

    Last year, when Sacramento was in Milwaukee, the game was a thriller that went into overtime, with Damian Lillard hitting a 32-footer at the buzzer to win by a single point. Sacramento is playing good basketball right now. They got De’Aaron Fox back in the lineup in their last game against Chicago, and the locker room atmosphere has improved significantly since Christie took over.

    Improved Team Dynamics and Practices

    Christie has reduced the physical practices, and the players have responded positively. Kevin Huerter mentioned that the players who play heavier minutes feel fresher to start games. Sacramento underachieved early, but now the arrow is clearly pointed upward for the Kings. Milwaukee had an ugly loss on national TV against the Knicks on Sunday.

    Bucksโ€™ Recent Struggles

    Although generally, I like to back a team like the Bucks after a loss, Milwaukee’s recent wins have come against weaker opponents like Orlando, San Antonio, and Toronto. Giannis is supposed to play tonight, but Chris Middleton is not. This is not a team I trust to beat quality foes right now. Sacramento is a quality foe, and this is a streak worth riding.

    Betting Perspective: Kings as Underdogs

    If I’m playing, I want the underdog, not the favorite. Give me the Kings plus the points in Milwaukee. Two consecutive games on the same floor against the same opponent in the regular season is relatively new for the NBA. Tonight, Dallas and Denver will battle after Denver just beat them by double digits. Now we have the rematch in Dallas.

Let me know in the comments if you think I’m right or wrong in my handicap for this game. Tonight’s game between Denver and Dallas is different because Kyrie Irving is expected back in the lineup for Dallas. Denver’s key players, Aaron Gordon, Jamal Murray, and Nikola Jokic, are all probable.

    Denverโ€™s Recent Form vs. Dallas

    However, Dallas has been struggling without Luka Donฤiฤ‡ and Kyrie Irving, while Denver has won seven of their last nine games. I have concerns about the Nuggets defensively, but they shut down the Mavericks in the fourth quarter during crunch time over the weekend. I would not be surprised to see a similar result tonight.

    Final Thoughts and Nuggets Pick

    Dallas isn’t playing elite basketball right now, and even with Kyrie’s return, it’s not enough to make them a championship contender. Give me the Nuggets minus the points. Stay tuned for more free content.
