Two of the NBA's most popular and star-studded teams will collide on Wednesday evening as the Los Angeles Lakers make the trip to Wisconsin to face the Milwaukee Bucks. This NBA regular season match-up will see the past two champions of the league face off.
The Los Angeles Lakers won the NBA title in 2020, but they lost hold of their crown quite easily last season, and their start to this season has also been pretty ordinary. Despite having superstar names like LeBron James, Anthony Davis, and Russell Westbrook in the side, the Lakers are sitting in seventh place in the NBA Western Conference standings with a pretty ordinary 8-7 record. They suffered a blowout loss to the Chicago Bulls in their last game.
The Milwaukee Bucks' title defense is not going to plan either so far. Giannis Antetokounmpo and co. have won just six of their 14 games so far, a worrying sign even though they are shorthanded at the moment. They are currently in 11th place in the Eastern Conference standings and have lost each of their last two. Both the Lakers and the Bucks will see this as a must-win game to get some momentum going.
The game will be broadcast locally in the Los Angeles Lakers market on Spectrum SportsNet and the Bally Sports WI in the Milwaukee Bucks market. Fans who do not live in these states can watch the game live as well, as it will be nationally televised on ESPN with a live stream on fuboTV.
