*Editor’s Note: Statistics and rankings are current as of this writing, Wednesday, February 8th. Numbers may vary slightly entering games on Thursday, February 9th.
Milwaukee Bucks
Health has hampered the Bucks’ ability to put their best lineups on the floor with Khris Middleton appearing in 15 games so far while Bobby Portis hit the injured reserve list just as Middleton returned.
Giannis Antetokounmpo has also taken games off to deal with a sore knee while iron man Jrue Holiday has kept things rolling with each member of the core missing time.
The fact Milwaukee sits a single game back of the Celtics should have fans sitting up and taking notice because fully healthy they represent arguably the biggest challenge for Boston.
Stats
Opponents score the seventh-fewest points with the Bucks allowing 111.8 per game limiting opponents to 45.3% from the field and 34.6% from deep ranking second and third respectively.
Offensively, the Bucks score 114.5 points per game ranking 14th, while shooting 46.3% from the field and 35.9% from the perimeter ranking 23rd and 16th in the latter two categories.
Injury Report
To summarize the injury report…
- Bobby Portis, F (OUT— knee MCL sprain)
- Serge Ibaka, F (OUT— shopping for trade partners- away from team)
Los Angeles Lakers
LeBron James made history on Tuesday, showing more emotion than normal in the big moment. But despite his big night personally, LA failed to capture the victory and turn their attention to the trade deadline.
LA lost out on the Kyrie Irving sweepstakes and entered Thursday still very much invested in upgrading their depth and finally completed a deal to send out Westbrook. Initially, the deal made no sense because Woj and Shams hadn’t added in all the pieces but here they are:
UPDATED TRADE:
- Lakers receive: Jarred Vanderbilt, Malik Beasley, D’Angelo Russell
- Wolves receive: Mike Conley, Nickeil Alexander-Walker
- Jazz receive: Russell Westbrook, Juan Toscano-Anderson, Damian Jones, Lakers top four protected 2027 FRP
Also in deal: Juan Toscano-Anderson and Damian Jones to Jazz, Nickeil Alexander-Walker to the Timberwolves, sources said.

Free Milwaukee Bucks vs. Los Angeles Lakers NBA Prediction:
At the end of the historic LeBron game Tuesday, he was limping noticeably but the Lakers lost the game and it’s clear they need to start converting more wins as they sit 13th two full games back of the 10th seed.
In contrast, the Bucks are getting stronger with Giannis playing lights out since taking a few games off and Middleton rounding into pre-injury form.
