Check out our top NBA preseason picks and predictions for today’s game.
Lakers vs. Bucks
LeBron and Bronny have yet to win a game while on the same team. The Lakers are 0-2 after losing to the Suns 118-114. They're also dealing with many injuries, including Jarred Vanderbilt, Christian Koloko, Jordan Goodwin, and Christian Wood. The Lakers' starting lineup is terrific. However, like last year, the bench still lacks. Dalton Knecht is expected to be a major contributor to the second unit, but he only scored seven points in 21 minutes against the Suns. Max Christie scored 12 points in 29 minutes but shot 3-for-14 last time out. Meanwhile, the Bucks lost their first preseason game to the Detroit Pistons, 120-87. Giannis Antetokunmpo and Khris Middleton didn't play, but a loss that bad is alarming, especially after Damian Lillard still played 17 minutes. Both teams lack depth. Give me the Under 221.5.
Pick: Under 221.5 (-110)
