I like Under 230.5 in Lakers-Bucks because Milwaukee's scoring problems meet Walker Kessler's close-range defense.
Milwaukee averaged 108.4 points, 25th in the NBA, through its first 10 games. It followed that with 85 at New York on Tuesday.
The Bucks have scored 107 or fewer in five straight games, from Nov. 2 through Tuesday. Every game in that stretch finished with 228 total points or fewer.
Kessler is available after starting all 12 Lakers games. Through Nov. 8, opponents shot 45.1% within six feet against him, the NBA's lowest mark among players defending at least 50 attempts.
