The Milwaukee Bucks will take on Sacramento Kings today at 12:30 PM EST. The Bucks thumped San Antonio Spurs 113-92 with the former champions having no answer to the might of Giannis. The Kings lost out to the Heat in a closely contested game in their first scrimmage.
The second round of scrimmage games will have quarters of 12 minutes. The players have mixed caution with dynamism in the first round of the scrimmage games in Orlando.
Expect the star players to get a little more game time going into the 2nd round of Scrimmage games. Also, the shooting should get better with the players having kicked off some rust post their first outing.
The Bucks, however, will look to carefully manage the minutes of superstar Giannis heading into the playoffs.

What to expect from both the teams heading into the restart?
The Bucks seemed unstoppable with Giannis leading them from the front this season. The reigning MVP picked up right from where he left it against Spurs, who had no answer to his dominance.
The Kings sit a paltry 11th in the western conference standings. They remain 3.5 games behind Grizzlies and will tough competition from the Pelicans and Blazers to make it through.
With leading star Fox out, the team will look upto Bjelica to deliver for them.
The Kings will have to keep Giannis at bay, if they want to get a win under their belt going to the seeding games. They are desperately looking for anything to go their way so as to build some momentum for those crucial seeding games.
However, at this point, with all the injuries and their form, it seems unlikely that they will make it to the playoffs.
