That’s right, the Kings last win against Milwaukee came back in January 2016.

I’m taking the Bucks to continue their reign over the Kings, claiming another W on the road.
The Bulls take on the Mavs for the 2nd and final time this season, with the visitors looking to claim a sweep.
Both sides enter this game with a 5-5 record across their last 10 starts, lingering in the play-in bracket of their respective conferences.

The Celtics are 22-1 against sides with a losing record this season, and lead the league in 10+ point victories, with 29.
Alternatively, Portland are 7-34 against sides with a winning record and have lost 28 games by 10 or more points, only Charlotte boasting a poorer record.
I’m backing the Celts to win big on the road.
Dallas def. Detroit
Detroit are 1-9 across their last 10 games, 4-25 at home and the 2nd worst team in the league. Dallas aren’t playing their best basketball at the moment, but would have to fall over to loose this one.

The last seven games between this pair have been won by the home side.

I’m steering clear of line betting, instead taking the Overs.

The Mavs and the Pacers look to avoid three straight defeats when they meet in Dallas today.
Both sides have been largely inconsistent of late, and an absolute nightmare to back in the H2H markets.
Though one thing that has been consistant has been the offensive output of the league’s leading scorer, Luka Doncic.
Luka has averaged 35-9-11 across his last 10 starts, scoring 33 points away to the Pacers earlier this season.
I’m backing the damaging guard to stuff the stat sheet once again, finishing the game with 35+ points.
The Sun travel to Denver to take on the Nuggets in what should be a thrilling contest.
