Best Lakers vs. Bucks Odds, NBA Player Props & Score Predictions Tonight: March 13
The Los Angeles Lakers (40-23) hope to end their recent slide without LeBron James when they travel to face the Milwaukee Bucks (37-28) at 7:30 p.m. ET on Thursday in the Fiserv Forum.
The game will be broadcast on TNT, meaning Charles Barkley will talk about how he really wants to talk about other teams while Shaquille O'Neal attempts to figure out who is coaching the Detroit Pistons.
Aside from the overrated pregame show, our Lakers vs. Bucks prediction and player props expect a competitive game as Milwaukee enters as a 6.5-point favorite.

🏀 Best Austin Reaves prop pick: Over 5.5 assists ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Best odds: -130 via DraftKings ($10 to win $7.69)
Terms and conditions apply.
The Lakers’ upset bid might depend on Austin Reaves, who has been rusty since returning from injury a week ago. Reaves has averaged 13.7 points on 25.6% shooting, suggesting that the Under on his points prop (23.5) could be worth a look.
However, I prefer to target his assist angle after he dished 10 dimes against the Brooklyn Nets on Monday. Reaves needs to be a secondary creator for Los Angeles, especially since Luka Doncic faces more blitzes (extra defender to get the ball out of his hands) than anyone else in the league.
I project seven assists for Reaves on Thursday, so this line is valuable at 5.5.

🏀 Best Kyle Kuzma prop pick: Over 13.5 points ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Best odds: -115 via DraftKings ($10 to win $8.70)
Kyle Kuzma is finally on a good team for the first time since being traded away from the Lakers. He’s making the most of it, averaging 14.4 points and 7.1 rebounds per game since joining the Bucks.
With the Lakers’ defensive attention on slowing down Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard, Kuzma has a chance for a big night. I project him to finish with 15 points, which is why this Over costs as much as -130 at some of our best NBA betting sites.

🏀 Best Luka Doncic prop pick: Triple-double ⭐⭐⭐
Best odds: +425 via BetMGM ($10 to win $42.50)
In his first game as a Laker without James, Doncic finished with 22 points, 12 rebounds, and 12 assists. And it was honestly a bad game for him, as he shot 8-of-26 from the floor and committed five turnovers in 41 minutes.
That demonstrates how much the Lakers will run through Doncic without James. It’s only a matter of time before Doncic goes nuclear, and that might be tonight against a Milwaukee team that has lost three in a row.
Doncic’s triple-double odds closed at +230 at BetMGM on Monday, illustrating how much of a discount this +425 price tag is for Thursday.
