The Los Angeles Lakers have their work cut out for them as they take on Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks, who currently hold the NBA’s best record. Additionally, Milwaukee has won nine consecutive road games and with a victory will clinch a spot in the playoffs.
As it stands, the Lakers are three games behind the San Antonio Spurs for the seventh spot in the Western Conference standings, and also three games back of the Clippers for eighth. They are just one game back of catching the Sacramento Kings at ninth.
The Clippers and Kings are playing one another at the same time the Lakers host on the Bucks.
