Bucks vs. Kings Preview: Antetokounmpo is doubtful, can the Kings stop their losing streak?

The Bucks bought out Lillard's contract during the offseason, signed Turner, the Pacers' inside man, and also signed many role players such as Cole Anthony and Kofi. The Bucks performed very well in the opening stage, achieving a record of 4 wins and 1 loss, but lost one game to the Cavaliers, temporarily ranking third in the Eastern Conference. In the last game, the Bucks still defeated the Warriors in an upset despite the lack of Antetokounmpo. The team's overall condition is very good. In the first five games, the Bucks averaged 121.8 points per game and conceded 115 points per game. The offense and defense were relatively balanced.

Antetokounmpo is the absolute core of the Bucks, averaging 36.3 points, 14 rebounds and 7 assists per game, shooting 69.3% from the field and 57.1% from the three-point range, which is almost unsolvable. Rollins has suddenly emerged this season, averaging 18.6 points and 5 assists per game. He scored 32 points in the last game against the Warriors. He has set career scoring highs in two consecutive games. He is currently in a very hot state. Trent, Cole Anthony, AJ Green, Turner and Porter Jr. also averaged double figures per game. The team has many scoring points. New aid Turner's condition improved significantly in the last game. He hit 3 three-pointers and scored 17 points. This is also good news for the Bucks.

The Kings did not make much action during the offseason. The main signings were the signing of two guards, Westbrook and Schroeder. In the first five games, the Kings performed poorly, only achieving a record of 1 win and 4 losses, ranking second to last in the Western Conference, only better than the completely defeated Pelicans. The Kings are currently on a three-game losing streak, and the team's morale is relatively low. The Kings only averaged 110 points per game, ranking third from the bottom in the Western Conference, and their offense was very average.

LaVine is the team's leading scorer, averaging 29.2 points and 3 rebounds per game, including 30+ in 4 games. His personal condition is still very good. DeRozan averaged 19 points, 4.4 rebounds and 5.2 assists per game. Monk averaged 15.6 points and 2.4 assists per game. The core inside player, Sasha, had a mediocre start, averaging only 12.5 points, 13.8 rebounds and 3.3 assists per game. His data dropped significantly from last season. Schroeder and Westbrook also averaged double figures per game, but the Kings' bench depth is average.

In the last 10 matches between the two teams, the Bucks have won 8 of them, with a clear advantage. When they met again, both teams had injury problems. For the Bucks, Antetokounmpo is doubtful and Kevin Porter Jr. continues to be absent. For the Kings, Monk is absent due to personal reasons, and Clifford and Keegan Murray are also unable to play.
