Preview:
The heavyweight clash we’ve all been waiting for has come early as the Bucks and the Lakers square off in a potential Finals preview.
Milwaukee’s impressive 18-game winning streak came to an end on Tuesday as the Bucks lost by four-points to the Mavericks at home. The Lakers, meanwhile, also saw their own seven-game winning streak come to a close with a loss to the Lakers on Wednesday – adding further intrigue to this blockbuster game.
Backing the Bucks against the spread following a loss has easily been one of the most rewarding betting plays over the last two seasons. Since 2018, Milwaukee holds a league-best 21-8 record in this scenario, while the Bucks have also been the second-best side to back at home going 37-25-2 during the same time frame.
Neither of these two sides have lost back-to-back games at all this year, but I’m still willing to stick with the Bucks considering Kyle Kuzma is out with an ankle injury, and Anthony Davis is also questionable to play.
The Lakers’ defensive rating has dropped by 3.3 points without Davis on the court this year. The loss of Kuzma – who is averaging 11.1 points-per-game off the bench – is also a significant loss that should see this heavily hyped game result in a potential Bucks blowout.
Odds:
Tip: Milwaukee Bucks at $1.56
