Milwaukee Bucks at Los Angeles Lakers Preview & Picks
Milwaukee Bucks at Los Angeles Lakers Preview & Picks
Los Angeles are tipped to cover the spread as a home betting underdog.
The Lakers are building some momentum again, while Milwaukee have gone cold over the past couple of weeks and just lost to a Golden State team without Stephen Curry.
- Los Angeles Lakers are on a 3-game win streak
- Los Angeles Lakers are 11-3-0 ATS in their last 14 games
- Milwaukee Bucks are 2-5 in their previous 7 games
- The Over has cashed in 5 of the last 6 meetings
Head To Head
- Los Angeles Lakers lead the all-time series 92-71
- Milwaukee Bucks won 126-106 when the two teams last met on March 13
Milwaukee Bucks Form
Milwaukee head to Los Angeles in poor form, having lost five of their last seven games and each of the previous two.
The Bucks’ dip started when they saw a four-game winning run end at the hands of Orlando, 111-109.
They then lost 112-100 at home to Cleveland and 115-114 in Indiana, before finally seeing that losing run end with a 126-106 success at home to the Los Angeles Lakers.
Milwaukee followed that up by beating Indiana 126-119 at home, but they have not won since.
The Bucks ended last week with a 121-105 home defeat to Oklahoma City, before starting this road trip with a 104-93 loss at Golden State.
Los Angeles Lakers Form
Los Angeles enter this matchup having extended their winning run to three games with a victory over Denver last night.
The Lakers had cooled off prior to those last few wins, having struggled to respond to the end of their eight-game win streak.
Their run was ended by a 111-101 loss in Boston, and the losing continued as they went 0-4 during that road trip.
Los Angeles lost 111-108 in Brooklyn, 126-106 at Milwaukee and 131-126 in Denver, before finally stopping the rot when they returned home.
The Lakers beat Phoenix 107-96 to steady the ship, and then backed that up with a 125-109 victory over San Antonio and a 120--108 success against Denver.
Verdict
Los Angeles will be full of confidence after knocking off Denver without LeBron James.
They now face a Denver team who just lost to a Curry-less Warriors group, so we like the in-form Lakers with the free points in this one.
