Los Angeles Lakers at Milwaukee Bucks Preview & Picks

Milwaukee are tipped to cover as they return to winning ways tonight.

The Lakers arrive on the back of a couple of losses and they could be without both LeBron James and Luka Doncic for this one.

  • Milwaukee Bucks are 9-4-1 ATS in their last 14 games
  • Los Angeles Lakers are 0-2-0 ATS on this road trip so far
  • The Under has hit in each of Milwaukee's previous 2 games
  • The Under has cashed in 9 of Los Angeles' last 11 games

Head To Head

  • Los Angeles Lakers lead the all-time series 92-70
  • Los Angeles Lakers won 128-124 in double overtime when the teams last met in March 2024

Los Angeles Lakers Form

Los Angeles head to Milwaukee looking to get back on track after starting this road trip with back-to-back defeats.

The Lakers returned from the All-Star break with a surprise loss, but they issued an immediate response to embark on an eight-game tear.

They won 110-102 in Portland and 123-100 in Denver, before returning home to win six straight, starting with a 107-99 victory against Dallas.

Los Angeles then beat Minnesota 111-102, the LA Clippers 106-102 and 108-102, New Orleans 136-115 and New York 113 109 in overtime.

The Lakers’ run was halted at the weekend though, as they lost 111-101 in Boston, and that was followed by a 111-108 loss in Brooklyn.

Milwaukee Bucks Form

Milwaukee return home looking to snap a three-game losing skid that has cooled off their recent form.

The Bucks won four straight around the All-Star break, and then issued a strong reaction to the 100-97 defeat in Houston.

They beat Denver 121-112 at home, before heading out on the road to down Dallas, 132-117, and Atlanta, 127-121.

Milwaukee returned home to make it four-in-a-row at Dallas’ expense, 137-107, but they have not won since then.

The Bucks’ winning run was ended by a home defeat to Orlando, 111-109, and they then lost 112-100 at home to Cleveland and 115-113 in Indiana.

Verdict

Milwaukee go into this game in rough form, but we expect them to stop the rot against Los Angeles.

The Lakers are 0-2 on this road trip so far and there is a real chance that James and Doncic could sit this one out.
