Milwaukee had won six in a row before having the misfortune of facing Golden State after the Warriors had been humiliated on national television in a 52-point loss to Boston on Sunday. However, the Bucks appear to have gotten adjusted to new coach Doc Rivers and they were 6-0 ATS during the streak. Los Angeles comes off a 130-120 loss to Sacramento on Wednesday and the Lakers now are just 2-6 ATS their past eight games and LeBron James continues to deal with an ankle injury. This is the first meeting of the season, but Milwaukee has won seven of the past 10 meetings. The Bucks have covered six of eight as road favorites of 0.5-4.5 points and they are 4-1 ATS their past five as road favorites overall. The Lakers are 1-4 ATS their past five games after allowing at least 125 points their previous game and they are just 1-4 ATS their past five home contests. Take the Bucks.
