Despite no Giannis Antetokounmpo in the starting lineup (DNP — Dad Duty), the Bucks had no trouble with the Sacramento Kings. They’d take care of them, 123-111.
Even without the lack of scoring that Antetokounmpo typically provides, Milwaukee didn’t have any trouble putting the ball through the hoop to begin this one. Brook Lopez would start to quickly come alive, connecting on a few 3-pointers. Eric Bledsoe would match BroLo’s 10 points in the first quarter, and the All-Star Khris Middleton got his fingerprints on things with nine points of his own. Sliding into the second quarter, the Bucks constructed a 38-24 lead.
