Welcome to Opposition Intel!
Your Milwaukee Bucks have developed a winning habit, and following back-to-back impressive performances against offensive juggernauts like the Toronto Raptors and Portland Trail Blazers, will be looking to keep streaking at home to the Los Angeles Lakers tonight.
In their last two Milwaukee have been shorthanded all around, as a combination of injuries and ejections have done their best to derail them, but this Bucks team takes those challenges in their stride.
Wednesday’s game presents a different challenge, as the Lakers represent a team that the Bucks should be beating, but who have had surprising success against other Eastern opponents already this season.
