The Sacramento Kings travel to Milwaukee take on the Bucks on November 5, 2016. This article predicts the Kings’ box score for that game.
The Sacramento Kings are set for another early evening tango on Saturday, November 5, 2016, against the Milwaukee Bucks. The game is in Milwaukee. Tipoff should be shortly after 5pm Pacific, so plan your Saturday evening festivities around what should be a great game.
Without further ado, let us get to my prediction of the Kings box score for the contest against the Bucks.
Box Score Prediction
I wrote a piece featuring my thought from the Kings last game against Orlando here. In that article, I discussed how Coach Joerger seems to be more inclined to tweak his rotation based on the match-up. I see this game against Milwaukee as more of a Miami game than an Orlando contest. The Bucks feature smaller quicker lineups and do not rely on two traditional big men often.
Do not be surprised to see Matt Barnes or Omri Casspi slide into the starting line-up and Kosta Koufos head to the bench. I predicted both Barnes and Casspi to play 22 minutes and Koufos to earn 20 of his own. It will be worth monitoring who gets the minutes though after Barnes only secured 9 minutes against the Magic.
I, also, predicted Willie Cauley-Stein to not get off the bench in this game and Coach Joerger to give the minutes to Anthony Tolliver. Coach Joerger did the same thing against Miami. Cauley-Stein is a match-up dependent player at this point in his career. He needs another big to guard and with Cousins and Koufos ahead of him in the rotation, it becomes hard to find Willie minutes on nights where the opposition plays one traditional big man.
Summary
There you have it, what I think the box score looks like at the end of Saturday’s contest at Milwaukee. This will be the fourth game of the week and is the first of a back-to-back, so prepare to see some tired Kings’ legs. This will be a difficult game for the Kings, but I am hoping they muster up some energy and steal a win in Milwaukee.
