Milwaukee Bucks Form
Milwaukee head to Los Angeles on the back of a defeat, but in decent form with five wins in their previous eight games.
The Bucks snapped a three-game losing skid before Christmas Day as they travelled to Indiana and beat the Pacers 111-94.
They then rebounded from a 125-104 defeat in Memphis with back-to-back wins on the road, downing Chicago 112-103 and Charlotte 123-113.
Milwaukee failed to make it three-in-a-row as they returned home to lose 114-113 to Washington, but they did issue an immediate response by downing Charlotte 122-121.
The Bucks then kicked off this road trip with a 115-98 success in Sacramento, only to then fall 120-113 at Golden State.
Los Angeles Lakers Form
Los Angeles enter this matchup on the back of a defeat, but having won four of their six games post-Christmas.
The Lakers fell 119-96 at home to Houston on Christmas Day to see their skid reach three games, but they did respond with a 125-101 blowout of Sacramento.
They failed to follow that up, falling 128-106 to Detroit, only to then respond with a three-game win streak.
Los Angeles bounced back with a couple of home wins against Memphis, beating the Grizzlies 128-121 and 120-114, before heading to New Orleans to down the Pelicans 111-103.
The Lakers were unable to make it four-in-a-row though, as they were beaten 107-91 in San Antonio last time out.
Verdict
Milwaukee arrive in decent form and having stacked up a bunch of covers in recent road games.
Combine that with a fully healthy roster and you have a Bucks team that offers plenty of appeal with free points.
