The Nuggets were on a tough back-to-back and the Sacramento Kings took full advantage of the fatigue factor. The home side led wire-to-wire and got the win, 106-98. Bogdan Bogdanovic played 33 minutes and had a nice performance scoring 11 points to go with 2 rebounds, 5 assists and a steal.
For the losing side, Nikola Jokic once again flirted with a triple-double despite another off shooting night. The Joker finished the game with 8 points, 7 rebounds and 10 assists.
The Milwaukee Bucks were coming off a blowout loss to the Toronto Raptors and the “Greek Freak” took his anger on the Wizards. Giannis had 32 points on 12-of-17 shooting and 9-of-10 free-throws, adding 12 rebounds, 7 assists, 2 steals and a block single handedly carrying the Bucks to a 110-103 victory in Washington.
Marcin Gortat had 17 points, 7 boards and 3 blocks for the losing side.
