The Los Angeles Lakers are back home as LA will face the Milwaukee Bucks in a game from the Staples Center on Tuesday night. Los Angeles enter the game having won 5 straight although for the most part, LA have not faced strong competition lately and they continue to play through a weak part of their schedule.
Milwaukee (10-16) are a middle of the pack type team so far in the NBA's Eastern Conference and they cannot be feeling too optimistic about beating the Lakers in a game from downtown Los Angeles. Milwaukee have lost 3 straight and they are a terribly weak road team this season as they sit at just 3-10 as visitors.
At this point the Lakers are 10-2 from the Staples Center and with Kobe Bryant averaging 25.9 points per game this season and with Pau Gasol averaging a double-double for points and boards the Lakers look good for the win on Tuesday. It can't really be called an important game but with the standings so tight in the Western Conference the contenders that take bad losses to weak teams at this point in the season are the ones who may have their work cut out for them later in the year while playing catch-up.
Game time is at 7:30pm PT (4:30pm ET) as part of a 6 game schedule in NBA on Tuesday.
