Kings and Bucks Face Off in Interconference Battle
The Sacramento Kings take on the Milwaukee Bucks at Fiserv Forum on Saturday night.

The Kings (18-29) have found wins mostly elusive of late, and they'll enter Saturday's contest having dropped back-to-back games and seven of their last nine contests overall. Their most recent stumble came Wednesday night, when they were edged by the Detroit Pistons, 133-131. Terence Davis paced the Kings with 35 points, supplementing them with six rebounds, three assists, one steal and one block. De'Aaron Fox supplied 27 points, eight assists and six rebounds. Harrison Barnes provided 20 points and two rebounds. Marvin Bagley totaled 17 points, nine boards and one block. Davion Mitchell registered 13 points, four assists, one rebound and one block.

The Kings are likely to list Tyrese Haliburton (conditioning) as questionable for Saturday's game.

The Bucks (29-19) have had an up-and-down season as they strive to defend their title, but they'll check into Saturday's game having posted back-to-back wins after a rough stretch in which they dropped six of eight contests. Their most recent success came Friday night, when they edged the Chicago Bulls by a 94-90 score. Giannis Antetokounmpo paced the Bucks with 30 points, supplementing them with 12 boards, three assists, two blocks and one steal. Middleton turned in 16 points, 10 rebounds, six assists, one steal and one block. Jrue Holiday registered 13 points, four boards and two assists. Bobby Portis generated a 12-point, 13-rebound double-double that included one assist.

The Bucks will continue without Brook Lopez (back) for Saturday's contest.

Saturday's game marks the first of two meetings between the teams this season. The Bucks swept the two-game 2020-21 season series from the Kings.
