Los Angeles Lakers vs. Milwaukee Bucks Tip

Details:

The Los Angeles Lakers are in 13th place in the Western Conference with a 25-30 record. They are 13-13 at home and 5-5 in the last 10 games.

The Lakers have lost the last two games and are coming off a 133-130 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder. That game will be remembered as LeBron James became the All-Time leading scorer surpassing Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

James is the best player on the Lakers team averaging 30.8 points per game.

The Milwaukee Bucks are second in the Eastern Conference with a 37-17 record. They are 14-12 on the road and 9-1 in the last 10 games.

The Bucks are going to LA after winning the last 8 games. They are coming off a 127-108 win over the Portland Trail Blazers.

Key facts

• The Lakers have no injured players at the moment
• Bobby Portis Jr. and Serge Ibaka are out for the Bucks
• The Bucks have won 3 of the last 5 games against the Lakers

The Lakers were a part of a huge three-team trade right before the NBA trade deadline. Russell Westbrook is no longer a part of the Lakers as he has been traded to the Utah Jazz. In the trade that also involved the Minnesota Timberwolves, the Lakers got D'Angelo Russell, Jarret Vanderbilt and Malik Beasly and lost Juan Toscano Anderson besides Westbrook.

None of the newcomers will be available for tonight's game against the Bucks. The Lakers had a special night as LeBron James became the All-Time leading scorer but that does not change the fact that they are a bad team this season. Even with James and Anthony Davis in the lineup, the Lakers will have no chance against the Bucks. Milwaukee is on an eight-game winning streak and they have no intention of stopping in LA. Antetokounmpo is unstoppable and he loves to play on big scenes like in LA. The Bucks will be dominant tonight and win by covering the -3 points spread.
