The Lakers had a 14-game road winning streak snapped in their last game, dropping a 105-102 decision to the Indiana Pacers. Anthony Davis missed the game for the Lakers, and his scoring was missed by a Lakers team that went just 8-for-31 from three-point range. LeBron led the Lakers with 20 points in the loss, and the Lakers will hope to have Davis back in time for this matchup to help guard Giannis.
Milwaukee also had a notable win streak snapped in its last game. Despite Dallas Mavericks star Luka Doncic missing the game due to injury, the Mavs were able to pull off a shocking 120-116 win over Milwaukee. Giannis scored 48 points in a losing effort, as the Bucks showed plenty of heart during a furious fourth-quarter comeback that fell short in the final seconds. The loss ended an 18-game winning streak. The Bucks will look to start a new streak against the Lakers in this highly anticipated tilt.
