I’m taking the Lakers here, currently getting 1.5 points away at Milwaukee. Both LeBron and AD are again on the injury report, but I’m expecting them to play here. The Bucks just haven’t had it against good teams this season and I don’t trust them with a talent deficit here.
LA should be highly motivated here, playing in front of a national audience and looking to rebound after their loss to Golden State last time out. They’ve been arguably the best road side in the NBA thus far, going an impressive 7-0 straight up and 5-2 ATS.
They match up relatively well with this Milwaukee side, which just doesn’t have the strength in depth that they did last season. LeBron and AD should be able to dominate on the interior here. If the Lakers can hit their shots from 3, I expect them to secure the outright upset win.
