Milwaukee Bucks Game Preview: March 22 at Sacramento Kings
By Ti Windisch
The Milwaukee Bucks take on the Boogie-less Sacramento Kings on Wednesday night to end their West Coast road trip.
The Milwaukee Bucks are having a pretty good time on the West Coast after all! Much was made about how difficult this road trip would be for Milwaukee and how it could end their playoff hunt, but there’s a chance the Bucks come back in better playoff form than they left in.
That’s because Milwaukee has already won three games out West, with one remaining against a not-so-good Sacramento Kings team. The Kings finally traded DeMarcus Cousins back on All-Star weekend, and are now dedicated to the youth movement.
Most teams dedicated to the youth movement aren’t all that good. Just look at the Los Angeles Lakers, who are so dedicated that Timofey Mozgov and Luol Deng don’t even play anymore!

This is a good thing for Milwaukee though. The Bucks could get above .500 with a win over Sacramento, and the Kings haven’t been offering much resistance lately. They’re 2-10 in their last 12 games.
The core in Sac-town is now Buddy Hield, Willie Cauley-Stein and Skal Labissiere, among other young players. These young Kings have shown flashes of being good, but at the moment it seems like the Kings have traded Boogie without finding a franchise-type player to replace him.
To see how either the sort-of-tanking Kings or definitely-not-tanking Bucks can win on Wednesday, we’ll look at major keys for both teams, followed by highlighting a King to watch and making some score predictions.
