The Milwaukee Bucks will be without the services of Larry Sanders (hyper-extended left knee), J.J. Redick (sprained right ankle) and Ersan Ilysova (left knee pain) tonight in Sacramento. Both Sanders and Redick were injured last night in the Bucks 103-93 win over the Golden State Warriors. “He landed on his knee a little funny,” coach Jim Boylan said of Sanders. “He’s having a little bit of pain, but I don’t think it’s anything too serious, (but) enough that he won’t play tonight.”
According to coach Boylan, former King Samuel Dalembert will start at center, with Ekpe Udoh and Lu Mbah a Moute on the front line, with Brandon Jennings and Monta Ellis in the backcourt.
The Kings are coming off a 121-112 win over the Phoenix Suns on Friday night. Four players scored 20 or more points for Sacramento in the victory, including a game-high 27 from Isaiah Thomas.
