This pick feels like a no-brainer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><strong>Bucks -6.5<\/strong> (-110):<\/strong> This is an all-Bucks SGP, concluding with a prediction that Milwaukee wins this game handily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Bucks obviously look way better when Giannis is playing but this leg is mainly a fade of the Kings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>They are 8-27 overall while dealing with injuries for Domantas Sabonis (out) and Zach LaVine (GTD). LaVine hasn&#8217;t played since Dec. 14, so even if he&#8217;s available, he should be on a restriction.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Plus, Sacramento has played a lot over the past eight days.
