The Sacramento Kings (23-15) take on the Milwaukee Bucks (27-12) Sunday with tip-off from Fiserv Forum set for 7 p.m. ET. Let's analyze BetMGM Sportsbook's lines around the Kings vs. Bucksodds and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

Season series: First meeting; Bucks won 2-0 last year

The Kings come to town on the 4th stop of a 5-game road trip. They dropped Friday's affair with the Philadelphia 76ers by a 112-93 count as 1-point favorites. They had won 4 of 5 before that setback as Philly went 15-for-35 (43%) from 3-point land. F Domantas Sabonis is averaging 23.0 PPG, 14.1 RPG and 8.3 APG in 7 games this month. He has double-doubles in 21 straight games.

The Bucks complete a 4-game homestand Sunday after winning the previous 2. They took down the Golden State Warriors 129-118 Saturday but failed to cover as 13.5-point favorites. F Giannis Antetokounmpo had 33 points, 9 boards and 5 assists as his 9-game double-double streak came to an end.

Kings at Bucks and predictions

Prediction

Kings 124, Bucks 121

Moneyline

The Bucks have beaten the Kings 10 straight times. They're also 18-4 at home this year. So why in the world would I think the Kings have a shot here? Simple, because Vegas does as well. The Kings are +170 on the ML with a small 4.5-point spread to cover their tracks. Milwaukee just beat the Boston Celtics and Warriors, which could have a hangover effect. The Kings were slayed by a Joel Embiid-less 76ers team, which could open their eyes a bit. Also, the Bucks are playing on no rest. The Greek Freak is 29 now, and G Damian Lillard is 33. Those back-to-backs hit differently.

I'll shoot my shot on KINGS +170.

Against the spread

I don't like either side of the spread here. PASS and stick to the value on the ML.

Over/Under

The Over is 10-0 in the last 10 meetings between the teams. I'm not sure I have seen a stat like that in a while. Sacramento has cashed 3 of 4 Unders, and Milwaukee has just hit 2 of 5 Overs. These teams cashed an Over 246.5 in Milwaukee's 133-124 victory over Sacramento last season. But this number is the highest of the last 10 meetings.

We're breaking trends in this one. LEAN UNDER 248.5 (-115)
