Los Angeles Lakers (23-12) and Milwaukee Bucks (16-21) will clash on Friday night at Crypto.com Arena. The Lakers will be aiming to bounce back from their disappointing 107-91 midweek loss despite Doncic bagging his fourth triple-double this season. The Slovenian registered 38 points, 10 rebounds, and 10 assists. He will be eager to see the Lakers return to winning ways as they aim to reduce the 6.5-game gap with the Thunder in the Western Conference.

Like the Lakers, Milwaukee Bucks will also shoot to recover from their midweek loss in the Eastern Conference. The Bucks saw their two-game winning run come to an abrupt end on Wednesday night after losing 120-113 to Golden State Warriors. This was their fifth defeat in the last 10 matches, leaving them 11th in the conference standings. The Bucks are 12 games behind the table-topping Pistons.

Our Los Angeles Lakers vs Milwaukee Bucks Prediction

LA Lakers will come into this game as the -157 betting favorites. LeBron James is expected to be fit to participate after recovering from a foot injury, whereas Austin Reaves remains sidelined until the end of the month. The Lakers have been excellent at home this season (10-6) and will want to capitalize on their fan support to secure a comfortable win. However, Milwaukee will fancy their chances of a win, having won three of their last four games on the road. The Bucks also won in four of their previous five visits to the Crypto.com Arena. Still, we think they’ll come short this time, especially if James is fit to play for the Lakers.

Our prediction for LA Lakers vs Milwaukee Bucks: LA Lakers to cover -3.5 spread.
