On November 16, 2025, the Milwaukee Bucks will look to sweep a back-to-back for the first time this season when they host the Los Angeles Lakers at Fiserv Forum. A win would also give the Bucks consecutive victories for the first time since late October.
The Bucks are coming off an overtime victory over the Charlotte Hornets on November 14. Meanwhile, the Lakers are playing the second night of a back-to-back, having arrived late from New Orleans after beating the Pelicans.
Despite logging a season-high 40 minutes against the Hornets, Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo is listed as probable to play, managing pain in his left knee. Antetokounmpo is averaging an impressive 32.6 points, 11.5 rebounds, and 7.3 assists per game, while also shooting 10.1 free throws per contest.
On the Lakers' side, star point guard Luka Dončić also played 40 minutes on November 14 but is not on the injury report. Dončić is putting up 33.7 points, 9.2 assists, and 8.9 rebounds per game, while shooting 11.3 free throw attempts.
However, NBA all-time scoring leader LeBron James will miss the game, as he has yet to play this season due to sciatica. James, who will turn 41 in December, is currently working his way back with the Lakers' G League team.
