Sacramento Kings vs Milwaukee Bucks Prediction and Betting Tips | Jan. 14, 2025

There are seven games on the NBA schedule for Tuesday, including the Sacramento Kings vs Milwaukee Bucks matchup. It's the first clash of the season between the two teams, with the Kings winning the most recent one 129-94 on March 12.

It was Sacramento's first win against the Bucks since Feb. 1, 2016, snapping a 15-game losing streak. The Kings have not won in Milwaukee since Nov. 25, 2015, so it's going to be a tough task for coach Doug Christie and his players.

However, Christie has had the Kings playing like postseason contenders. They are on a seven-game winning streak, which is currently the longest in the NBA.

Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Bucks have struggled for consistency since winning the NBA Cup and are just 5-5 in their last 10 games.
