Los Angeles at Milwaukee

It took about a month, but Los Angeles appears to have finally figured out how to win with its new coach, Darvin Ham, after a horrible start to the season. The Lakers have won six of eight and bounced back after blowing a 17-point fourth-quarter lead to Indiana on Monday and defeated Portland 128-109 on Wednesday. LeBron James scored 31 points and Anthony Davis added 27 points and the Lakers took advantage of a depleted Trail Blazers lineup. Even so, the Lakers have some momentum heading to Milwaukee to play the Bucks, who have won three straight, but they are just 3-5-1 ATS their past nine games and 1-4-1 ATS following a win. The Lakers finally have found the solution to getting the most out of Russell Westbrook as he is coming off the bench and providing a spark. This could be a statement game for Los Angeles. Take the Lakers.
