Milwaukee Bucks Game Preview: Dec. 2 vs Sacramento Kings
By Adam McGee
The Milwaukee Bucks return home on Saturday night and will look to beat the Sacramento Kings for the second time in a week.
The Milwaukee Bucks will be glad to take the Bradley Center floor again on Saturday following an eventful, and relatively lengthy trip on the road.
As has often been the case for the Bucks, the road trip included the kind of maddening moments of inconsistency that make it hard to get a read on where the team is at overall, but unlike in years past, Milwaukee at least came home with an impressive 3-1 record.
Now the big question is whether the confidence picked up by the team, and the defensive tweaks that have been evident in their last two outings, can be sustained over a longer period of time.

The visit of the Kings on Saturday should give Jason Kidd‘s team a really good chance to make a positive statement in that regard too.
Having played the Kings in Sacramento on Tuesday, the Bucks will wrap up their season series with Dave Joerger’s team in the space of a matter of days. Having prevailed 112-87 in the road game, there’s no reason for the Bucks to feel anything other than supremely confident for the return game at home.
How exactly can the game be expected to play out, and what are the likely keys to victory for both teams, though? Let’s take a closer look.
