Bucks Seek End to Losing Streak vs. Lakers
12 Nov
Summary
- Bucks are on a seven-game losing streak.
- Lakers' Luka Dončić leads the league in scoring.
- Milwaukee struggles with center production and defense.
The Milwaukee Bucks are currently on a seven-game losing streak and will host the Los Angeles Lakers on November 11. The Bucks' record stands at 1-10, while the Lakers boast a 10-2 record and have won their last six games.
Offensive struggles from veteran center Myles Turner and newly acquired Kel'el Ware are severely impacting the Bucks. Turner is experiencing career-low shooting percentages and has been held scoreless multiple times, while Ware is also underperforming offensively and seeing reduced minutes.
Defensively, the Bucks face the daunting task of slowing down Luka Dončić, who leads the league in numerous scoring categories. Dončić's exceptional play has propelled the Lakers to the league's highest-scoring offense. Milwaukee's defense is allowing the third-most points per game, struggling to find effective lineup combinations.
Injury updates are pending, but Tyler Herro missed the previous game with a knee contusion, and Kel'el Ware played through an ankle sprain. The Bucks' upcoming schedule includes games against Orlando, Atlanta, and Miami.
