Luka Dončić and the Los Angeles Lakers will go for their seventh straight win when they face the Milwaukee Bucks on Wednesday, November 11. The game tips off at 7 p.m. local time at Fiserv Forum, giving fans in Wisconsin a chance to see the Slovenian guard on the road.
The Lakers enter the game at 8–2 after beating the Atlanta Hawks 124–114 on Monday. Milwaukee enters at 1–8.
Dončić Returns With 32 Points and 10 Assists
Dončić missed Sunday’s win over Detroit because of lower back tightness. He returned the next night in Atlanta and led Los Angeles with 32 points. He also had 10 assists and eight rebounds, finishing two rebounds short of a triple-double.
He made all seven of his free throws and shot 11-for-22 from the field. Los Angeles also got 23 points from Sandro Mamukelashvili, who hit five 3-pointers, and 21 points and 10 rebounds from Walker Kessler.
Milwaukee Is the Next Stop After Back-to-Back Road Wins
The Lakers won on consecutive nights in Detroit and Atlanta before heading to Wisconsin. Austin Reaves scored 43 points against Detroit with Dončić out. In Atlanta, Dončić returned to the lineup while Reaves missed the game with an illness.
A win in Milwaukee would extend the Lakers’ streak to seven games and improve their record to 9–2. Tipoff is at 8 p.m. Eastern and 5 p.m. Pacific.
