Sacramento Kings

Sacramento was lit up by the NBA’s second-worst offence on Wednesday, giving up 133 points to a bad Pistons team.  The Kings blew a late lead and gave Detroit an 11-0 run to end the game.  Terence Davis led Sacramento with a career-high 35 points, six rebounds and three assists.  De’Aaron Fox added 27 points, eight assists and six rebounds, while Harrison Barnes finished with 20 points.

Fox is leading the team with 21.0 points per game.  Barnes is averaging 16.3 ppg and leads the team with 6.0 rebounds.  Tyrese Haliburton is a game-time decision on Saturday after missing the Kings’ last two games in COVID protocols.  Haliburton is averaging 13.7 ppg and leads the team in assists (7.1), steals (1.7) and blocks (0.7).

Milwaukee Bucks

The Bucks came out on top in a battle of Eastern Conference powerhouses on Friday as Giannis Antetokounmpo dropped a team-high 30 points and 12 rebounds in the win.  Khris Middleton finished with 16 points and 10 rebounds, Jrue Holiday had 13 points and Bobby Portis added 12 points and a game-high 13 rebounds.  Milwaukee shot a season-low 19.4 per cent from beyond the arc (6 of 13).

Antetokounmpo continues to be a massive piece of Milwaukee’s roster.  The two-time MVP is third in league scoring with 28.6 ppg and he also averages team-highs in rebounds (11.3) and blocks (1.5).  Middleton is second on the team with 19.7 ppg.  Holiday is third with 17.9 ppg and leads the team in assists (6.5) and steals (1.5).  The Bucks are 18-3 when they have Antetokounmpo, Middleton and Holiday all playing.
