I wouldn't take the Bucks here if the Lakers didn't have bigger losses, but tonight Hachimura is out and Smart might not play either because he is sick. Two big losses for the Lakers, their already struggling defense will be without a key defender, and losing Hachimura is significant because he plays effectively in a double-digit scoring mode. Both teams played yesterday, and although the Bucks went to OT, the Lakers' stars played until the end because they didn't have to face the Pelicans early. The Bucks solidly look 5-2 at home, and they have already beaten some good teams. If they can shut down one of Reaves or Luka, I think they will win.
