Milwaukee Bucks vs Sacramento Kings
Sacramento Kings (+2) $1.90

Many people questioned Sacramento’s decision to sack head coach Mike Brown, and rightfully so, with the former Dubs assistant winning coach of the year just two seasons back.

The Kings are currently proving all those doubters wrong, going unbeaten across their last seven games, the longest current winning streak in the league.

They travel to take on a Bucks side, who are neither here nor there at the moment, going 5-5 across their last 10 games, and lingering just above the play-in bracket in the East.

The Kings have won their last three away fixtures comfortably, and I’m backing them to shock the Bucks on the road.

Dallas Mavericks vs Denver Nuggets
Denver Nuggets (-4.5) $1.90

Dallas plays host to the Nuggets for the 2nd straight game across three days, after losing by 11 points on Monday.

Understandably, the Mavs have largely struggled without the services of Luka and Kyrie, losing seven of their last 10 games.

Meanwhile, the Nuggs are 7-3 across the same trip, and are looking to secure a fourth straight victory.

Without their two star guards, I don’t think the Mavericks have the fire power to hang with Denver, and I have them losing this game comfortably.
