Lakers vs Bucks Prediction


This is a lot of points for a Lakers team that may pick nights where they’re not excited to lay the wood. Sometimes the Lakers do just enough to get by. However, this has more to do with the Bucks than anything. This is looking more and more like one of the worst teams in the league. It doesn’t help that the Bucks are on the end of a back-to-back and have key players on the injury report.

The Bucks have been outscored 182-234 in their last two games. The Bucks are 29th in points per game and 28th in defensive points per game. This is a bad team, folks. The line is what it is for a reason. Give me the Lakers in a comfortable road victory on Wednesday night.
