The Los Angeles Lakers get no rest and are playing their fifth game in six days. At some point, this will take its toll on the already injury-riddled outfit. That’s why our NBA bets are with the visitors, the Milwaukee Bucks, even if they have not been the best road team. They have, at least, won six of their last eight games as a favorite and have an edge here.

Bucks vs Lakers Prediction

There is no rest for the weary and the Lakers face Milwaukee right after beating Denver. The Lakers are just 1-3 in their last four games hosting Milwaukee. They are 7-3 when playing with no rest and are 8-5 when playing with less rest than their opponent. But Milwaukee should beat the Lakers per our basketball NBA picks this Thursday.

Bucks vs Lakers Best 3 NBA Player Props Today

1. Lakers G Austin Reaves Under 25.5 Points (-125)

Austin Reaves has been on fire for the Lakers and has been profitable for NBA prop betting. But we’ll have to fade him here as he’s bound to underwhelm. Reaves is setting career highs in scoring (19.6 points) and usage rate (23.8%). But his true shooting percentage is also down to 60%. His points will go under.

2. Bucks G Damian Lillard Over 3.5 3-Pointers (+125)

Damian Lillard has been a bit off lately, hitting just two 3s in four of his last five games. But a game against the Lakers, a team he’s consistently torched, is what he needs to go off. He averages 3.5 3s against the Lakers in 38 career games. Going over his 3-point prop is one of the best NBA prop bets today.

3. Buck F Giannis Antetokounmpo Over 48.5 Pts+Rebs+Asts (-108)

Giannis Antetokounmpo had one of his worst games against Golden State. Draymond Green locked him down and reestablished himself as a Defensive Player of the Year contender. We see Antetokounmpo bouncing back emphatically against the Lakers, who don’t have a Green-like defender. Bet Antetokounmpo to go over his combo props.

Bucks vs Lakers Moneyline Pick

It can be tough to bet against Luka Doncic’s Lakers with their current run. On top of that, the Bucks lost to a Steph Curry-less Warriors. But that’s why we like the Bucks at this discounted price. The Bucks are healthier, bigger, and more rested than the Lakers. The Lakers could be running on fumes. The Bucks’ moneyline is included in our expert NBA pick.

Bet on Bucks (-145)

Bucks vs Lakers Spread Pick

Laying three points on the Bucks is okay. They have been untrustworthy but are still 6-3 against the spread (ATS) in their last nine games when they were favored by 3.5 points or fewer. If you want a better line than the ML, bet Milwaukee ATS.

Bet On Milwaukee Bucks -3 (-115)

Bucks vs Lakers Total Pick

The Lakers took it to the shorthanded Nuggets. Doncic exploded against the deflated visitors. That won’t be the case against Milwaukee, which will be primed to make a statement following an embarrassing performance against Golden State. The Bucks tighten up defensively, which is why 31% of their games following a loss go under the total (9-20-0). Go under.
