The Milwaukee Bucks will host the Los Angeles Lakers on Thursday night at Fiserv Forum in what’s undoubtedly the biggest game so far of the current NBA season.
A little bit of the shine may have come off the encounter in recent days as both teams suffered surprising losses, with the Bucks’ overall winning streak and the Lakers’ road winning run both coming to an end.
Still, that doesn’t change the core facts surrounding this game. These are the league’s two best teams at present, whether you opt to make that judgement based on the standings or what the advanced stats picture portrays at this point.
