The set-up: After their 146-115 road rout in Atlanta, I think the surging 6-3 Kings take a step back on the offensive side today. Milwaukee enters off its first loss of the season in a tough 117-113 road setback in Boston and it'll now look to avoid a letdown here.

The pick: Take it for what you will as well, but Sacramento has seen the total go "under" the number in five of its last six after three or more consecutive SU wins and in nine of its last 15 following a victory by ten points or more, while Milwaukee has seen the total go "under" in its last three when the total in the contest is greater than or equal to 230. These are two young teams which like to get out and push the pace from start to finish and while this can still be a high-scoring affair, I look for this total to say "under" this sky-high number in the end.
