The Los Angeles Lakers play the Milwaukee Bucks on Thursday, and if you’re wondering how you can watch the action live, you’ve come to the right place.
The Lakers (25-30) made a big trade on Wednesday, sending out Russell Westbrook, Juan Toscano-Anderson, Damian Jones and a 2027 lottery-protected first-round draft pick for D’Angelo Russell, Malik Beasley and Jarred Vanderbilt. But amid the excitement of the deal is the cold reality that the team has lost two games in a row and five of its last eight.
If it is to get back on track now, it will have to do so against a Bucks team that has quietly won eight games in a row. They recently welcomed Khris Middleton back from injury and appear to be gearing up for a run at their second NBA championship in three seasons.
