The Milwaukee Bucks face the Los Angeles Lakers on November 15, 2025, at 8:00 pm ET/5:00 pm PT. It’s a game circled on many calendars.

Statistically, these teams are closely matched. The Lakers edge the Bucks slightly in rebounding (40.7 vs. 40.3), but Milwaukee’s scoring (120.2 ppg) surpasses Los Angeles (116.1 ppg). One also sees a similar contrast in Assists, where Milwaukee slightly leads. It’s worth noting, though, that numbers don’t always tell the whole story.
