Premium Pick

LeBron James has broken the scoring record and now it's time for the Lakers to get down to business and battle for a playoff spot. Los Angeles is finalizing a trade that will send Russell Westbrook to Utah and that will be a net positive for the Lakers as he never really fit in well with the team. The Lakers won the first meeting this season 133-129 on the road as Anthony Davis poured in 44 points and James added 28 points on Dec. 2. Giannis Antetokounmpo scored 40 in a losing cause and both teams shot well over 50 percent. The Bucks have won eight straight and three were on the road, and they are 2-5-1 ATS after scoring at least 125 points their previous game. The Lakers have covered five of seven following a loss, while the Bucks are just 11-13-2 ATS on the road this season. Take the points with the Lakers.
