Every season, there comes a point when the team needs the All-Star Break. The Kings have arrived at that point.
Losers of six in a row and down two starters, this Sacramento team needs a moment to reset and get healthy. Instead, the Kings are on the second night of a back-to-back in Milwaukee to face the two-time defending MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Bucks.
The Bucks haven’t been quite the world beaters they were in recent seasons, but their offense is five points per 100 possession better than it was a year ago when they finished with the best record during the regular season.
