Hello, Lakers Nation. Welcome in to the Lakers Nation.com podcast.

My name's Trevor Lane, and it's game day. Lakers bucks, another early one, 4.30 p.m.

Pacific time. We'll see if the Lakers can get back to their winning ways coming off of a brutal,

avoidable, inexcusable loss to the Brooklyn Nets in their last outing.

The playoff picture, it's getting a bit closer. The Lakers need to pick up some wins here, but they're just starting their guntlet of a schedule, six games, all part of a back-to-back, three sets of back-to-backs in eight nights. This is just the beginning tonight against the Milwaukee Bucks. So on today's show, we're going to take a look at the Lakers injury report, what the Lakers need to do in order to get the win. Obviously, the injury report's going to be a big, big factor given what this team has been dealing with over the last couple of weeks in terms of the injury front. We also are going to bring on Ty Windish of the Eurostep podcast, a Milwaukee Bucks podcast, and he's going to tell us a bit about the

buck side of things, including some conversation about our old friends, Kyle Kuzma, and

that's right, Darvin Ham, hands in pockets.

Darvin Ham, we'll talk a bit about him as well, and we'll open up the mailbag.

All right, let's start things off with our friends over at Bet, US.

Right now they have the Lakers as a five and a half point underdog tonight against the bucks. Now, I'll be honest, I'm actually a little bit surprised. The bucks aren't a heavier favorite. Now, the bucks are coming off of three straight losses, but to me, that just means we're going to get a very focused and very upset buck squad that just lost at the buzzer to the Indiana

Pacers in their last outing. Tyrese Halliburton hit an insane three, got fouled, and then won

the game at the free throw line after tying it up from deep. It was an incredible play, one of the

incredible highlight plays of the season for sure, but you have to imagine Milwaukee's going to be

really frustrated after that one. Meanwhile, the Lakers, frankly, should be frustrated and should

be annoyed with the way they played against the Brooklyn Nets, and I hope they do come out and play

much, much better. But the Bucks injury report much cleaner than the Lakers certainly is, and so

we're going to take a look at that in just a moment.

But again, right now the Milwaukee box,

a five and a half point favorite at home against your Los Angeles Lakers.
