Keys to the Game:

•Win the 3-point battle

The Bucks aren't a great 3-point shooting team, they sit at 36.5% on the year so far from long range. They also allow opponents to shoot 40.7% from 3-land. The Kings shot 52.9% from three in Oakland last night and need to continue shooting the three ball that way tonight against the Bucks.

•Contain the Greek Freak

No I'm not talking about Kosta Koufos this time, I'm talking about NBA MVP-candidate Giannis Antetokounmpo (by the way, i didn't have to look up how to spell that and I'm beyond proud of myself). Giannis has caused quite the headache for teams in the past couple of years. His lengthy frame mixed with his quick moves also mixed with his gigantic steps have created a big mismatch for teams. Whoever is tasked with guarding the 7'0 small forward tonight must bring his A++ game.
