The Milwaukee Bucks (5-4) host the Los Angeles Lakers (7-3). The Bucks are coming into this game as a slight underdog. My pick for this one is the Los Angeles Lakers.

Both of these teams are coming into this game with zero days of rest. Despite the fact that both teams are coming into this game fatigued and the Bucks have the home court advantage , the Lakers have shown that they can win on very little rest and on the road. Something that I thought was very smart of head coach Phil Jackson is that he was sure not to over work his Lakers team in their last game, he didnt keep any player in too long and each player averaged about 20 minutes ....they still put up an impressive 134 points. The Lakers currently have a 4 game winning streak of which they have been playing excellent basketball. In the lakers last game they had an impressive 8 players in double figures. I really like how this Lakers team has been coming together. I was upset to see that they traded Brian Cook and Moe Evans but all and all I think it a pretty good trade , the Lakers newly aquired player is going to add athleticism and defense to this Lakers squad.

The Bucks are coming off a win against Cleveland and are on a 3 game winning streak. Dont get me wrong i think the Bucks are a fairly decent team but for the most part their wins have come against teams that havnt been doing very good. I don't think the Bucks are going to be able to win this game especially the way The Lakers have been playing both offensively and defensively. The Lakers are currently ranked 1st in the league for total rebounds and are ranked 2nd for field goal % allowed.
