The Bucks will look to extend their winning streak with a victory tonight.

It’s been an interesting start to the season for the Los Angeles Lakers, who have an 8-12 record this season and are 2-6 when playing on the road this season.

They’ve won three of their last five games this season, including a big win over the Portland Trail Blazers. They’ll look to use that momentum as they head into tonight’s game.

They’ll be without a few players tonight, namely Dennis Schroder, who has been ruled out for this game. LeBron James is currently listed as day-to-day but is likely to play.

As a team, the Lakers are averaging 113.1 points per game and are led by Anthony Davis, who puts up 26.3 points per game.

Taking on the Milwaukee Bucks will be really tough, even if Khris Middleton is sidelined. Guard MarJon Beauchamp and Forward Serge Ibaka have also been ruled out.

Giannis Antetokounmpo leads the team with 31.3 points per game and as a group the Bucks are averaging 112.3 points each game.

Their defense is pretty great as well, they rank third in the NFL this season, allowing just 107.4 each game. They’ll use this defense to take slow down the Lakers and Anthony Davis tonight.

This should be a pretty solid matchup between two teams that are trying to earn a win. With a record of 15-5, however, the Bucks are a much better choice tonight.

Now, the question is, can the Bucks actually cover the 8.5-point spread? They easily covered the spread against the Cleveland Cavaliers and Dallas Mavericks.

Because of this, we’ll take the Bucks at -8.5 over the Los Angeles Lakers.
