Premium Pick

The Lakers made a trade that likely saved their season. They picked up Luka Doncic before the trade deadline, and have been playing at a higher level since Doncic came over. Things won't be the same tonight, as the Lakers will have to go without LeBron James. The Milwaukee Bucks are 37-28 on the season, and this is a good measuring stick for them. The Lakers have lost two straight games, and they aren't going to win a lot of games without James, especially to a team like the Bucks who is one of the best in the league. The Bucks have lost three straight, but one was by a single point and another by two. This is a good opportunity for the Bucks. Make the play on Milwaukee.
