Los Angeles Lakers vs. Milwaukee Bucks: 3 Players to watch

On Saturday, the Los Angeles Lakers will be continuing their road trip against the Milwaukee Bucks. Here are three players to watch.

Saturday night will certainly be a fun matchup for the Los Angeles Lakers, as they will get to see the new and improved Greek Freak for the first time this season. Coming into this game, the Lakers are struggling a bit, as they have lost two straight games.

Road trips to the opposite coast can be really challenging for young teams, as winning on the road is something that doesn’t come easy. After losses to the Boston Celtics and Washington Wizards, the Lakers will have a chance to get a road win on this road trip.

Despite having an early MVP candidate in Giannis Antetokounmpo, the Bucks, like the Lakers are under .500 early in this season. Milwaukee recently pulled off a blockbuster trade to acquire Eric Bledsoe from the Phoenix. The hope in Milwaukee is that Bledsoe will compliment Antetokounmpo nicely and help push them toward the top of the Eastern Conference.

For the Lakers, getting a win against Milwaukee will certainly be important for them, as they would like to salvage this road trip. Due to the two losses, the Lakers would need to beat both the Bucks and then the Suns on their way back to Los Angeles.

Luckily for the Lakers, the Bucks will be playing on Friday night against the San Antonio Spurs. A grueling matchup against the Spurs could slow the Bucks down for Saturday night. With both teams looking to get closer to .500, here are three players to watch for Saturday night.
