Los Angeles Lakers slipped to a 131-116 defeat at home to champions Milwaukee Bucks on Tuesday but have a chance to bounce back on Wednesday as they head to Portland Trail Blazers.
The Lakers are 10/11 to win with a -7.5 handicap in the Point Spread and the Blazers can be backed at 27/10 in the Money Line.
The Lakers are down in ninth spot in the Western Conference but are well placed to at least qualify for the play-in tournament as they are five games ahead of Portland in 11th, while they are four-and-a-half behind Denver Nuggets in the final automatic playoff spot.
Portland, who traded CJ McCollum to New Orleans Pelicans on Tuesday, have lost their last six games and remain without star man Damian Lillard due to an abdominal issue.
