Milwaukee Bucks vs Los Angeles Lakers Prediction & Betting Tips - NBA
by Devesh Jaganath in NBA Predictions
The Los Angeles Lakers will head to the Fiserv Forum to take on the Milwaukee Bucks in the NBA on Tuesday night. The hosts are 46-25 and second in the Eastern Conference, while the visitors are 39-32 and ninth in the Western Conference.
The Los Angeles Lakers seem destined for the play-in round of the Western Conference playoffs, holding a two-and-a-half-game lead over the tenth-placed Golden State Warriors and trailing the eighth-placed Mavericks by the same margin. In their last matchup on Sunday night, the Lakers secured their third consecutive victory in a high-scoring 150-145 win over the Pacers at home. Anthony Davis led the charge with an impressive 36 points, 16 rebounds, and three assists on 15 of 21 shooting, while LeBron James and Spencer Dinwiddie each contributed 26 points. The Lakers rank ninth in scoring this season, averaging 117.7 PPG, just 0.8 more than the Bucks typically allow. Defensively, the Lakers allow an average of 117.6 points per game, placing them 23rd in the NBA. Gabe Vincent and Christian Wood are sidelined, while D'Angelo Russell is listed as day-to-day due to illness, and LeBron James is considered a minor doubt for the upcoming games.
Following a convincing 118-93 victory over the OKC Thunder on Sunday night, the Milwaukee Bucks are in a strong position to secure the second spot in the Eastern Conference, with a comfortable three-game lead over the Cleveland Cavaliers and just 11 games remaining in the regular season. In the matchup against OKC, Giannis Antetokounmpo led the charge with an impressive 30 points, 19 rebounds, and four assists on 13 of 18 shooting, while Bobby Portis contributed 15 points coming off the bench. The Bucks boast the third-highest-scoring offense in the NBA this season, averaging 120.6 points per game, which is three points more than the Lakers allow defensively (117.6). However, on the defensive end, they have room for improvement, allowing an average of 116.9 points per game, ranking 21st in the league. Notably, they perform better defensively at home, conceding an average of 115.4 points per game compared to 118.4 points on the road. Fortunately, the Bucks have no new injuries to report.

Our Milwaukee Bucks vs Los Angeles Lakers Prediction
While the Lakers have been in good form coming into this game with three wins on the bounce the major concern here will be the availability of LeBron James, who is flagged as a doubt due to an ankle injury. Therefore, if he is unavailable, we expect the Bucks to get the win and the cover. However, for now, we’re expecting the four-time MVP to feature and feel that if he does, the Lakers will be able to keep this one fairly close. Our Milwaukee Bucks vs Los Angeles Lakers prediction: Los Angeles Lakers +8.5.
