But now facing off against Sacramento, the Kings present their own set of challenges. However, the Bucks won't have to play against star forward Domantas Sabonis in this game.

Sabonis has been ruled out of this contest due to a right ankle sprain. With this, Sacramento will need others to step up if they want to take down Milwaukee.

Sacramento has been playing better of late and they are now in line to go after a postseason spot. But with Sabonis on the shelf, things could be a little tricky in this matchup.

For the year, the big man has averaged 19.2 points, 13.9 rebounds, and 6.2 assists per game. Sabonis massively helps the Kings offense stay in rhythm and he gives them a good flow on the court.

Playing against Milwaukee, who has a lot of size and length, losing Sabonis could hurt. But his absence does give the Bucks an opportunity to have an advantage in this game.

Milwaukee is in a tight battle within the Eastern Conference standings so every single game is crucial at this point in the year. The Bucks are currently holding onto the No. 5 seed in the East but the Detroit Pistons are right on their tails.

This team sits a full game behind the Indiana Pacers for the No. 4 seed and both teams play today. Indiana will be facing the Brooklyn Nets while Milwaukee faces this Kings team.

If the Bucks can enter the postseason healthy and play good basketball, they will like their chances. This roster has all the tools to be very successful but they have shown far too much inconsistency over the season.

These last few weeks of the regular season are a chance to right the wrongs from the year and be rocking when the playoffs start.
