These two are among the fiercest teams in the league. A solid roster filled with athletes who are willing to go any distance for their squad. Although they have been slightly unlucky recently, one cannot write them off for this new season. While the Lakers have King James and Anthony Davis at the helm of things. The Bucks have Giannis Antetokounmpo and their newest player Damian Lillard.
Teams are stacked and carry great potential, but how are they performing this preseason? The Lakers have played four games till now, they have won two and lost the other two.
The toughest competition they’ve faced has been the Golden State Warriors. In two games played against one another, the Warriors have a 2-0 record. Bucks, on the other hand, have played two games. They have a 1-1 record this preseason. Now going into the next matchup, both teams have a 50-50 win-lose chance. It will be interesting to see which team manages to clinch a lead in their next game. For either team, the road to a victory will not be easy as both teams are star-studded. But the bigger question is whether the star player will take the court or will sit out another game.

Will LeBron James and Anthony Davis play against the Bucks?
LeBron has been giving himself time to adjust to the game routine. The 38-year-old is heading into his 21st season in the league and it makes sense for him to be extra cautious. The 4x NBA champion will be 39 in 2 months and the last thing on his list will be an injury. LA Lakers suffered severely last year due to their injuries. It is unlikely that he will join his team. Even in the last game he gave himself much-needed rest but stayed courtside to cheer for his team.
