The Lakers and Bucks will meet again for the second time this season. Their previous match took place in January, and the purple and gold claimed the win by 113-106. A little over two months after that duel, they will face each otherstill seeking the top places in the standings.

Los Angeles Lakers are once moreamong the serious contenders for the ring this year, but they have suffered huge blows lately.
