What to Know

The Milwaukee Bucks will be returning home after a five-game road trip. They will take on the Los Angeles Lakers at 7:30 p.m. ET Wednesday at Fiserv Forum after having had a few days off. Given that these two teams suffered a loss in their last game, they both have a little extra motivation heading into this game.

Milwaukee found themselves the reluctant recipients of an unfortunate 120-100 punch to the gut against the Atlanta Hawks on Sunday. The top scorer for the Bucks was power forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (26 points).

Meanwhile, the contest between Los Angeles and the Chicago Bulls on Monday was not a total blowout, but with the Lakers falling 121-103 at home, it was darn close to turning into one. Los Angeles was down 94-73 at the end of the third quarter, which was just too much to recover from. A silver lining for them was the play of shooting guard Talen Horton-Tucker, who had 28 points along with six boards.

Milwaukee is the favorite in this one, with an expected 9-point margin of victory. Their home court has been no bettor's paradise, though, as they've failed to beat the spread in four of their five home games.

Milwaukee didn't have too much trouble with the Lakers on the road when the two teams previously met in March as they won 112-97. Will the Bucks repeat their success, or does Los Angeles have a better game plan this time around? We'll find out soon enough.
