The Los Angeles Lakers return home from a seven-game road trip to take on the Milwaukee Bucks Tuesday night. The Lakers finished up their road trip with a 120-110 win over the Toronto Raptors, for their fifth consecutive win.

The Bucks lost 106-80 to Portland in their first game without Jennings, and will also be without Carlos Delfino and Corey Magggette tonight. Looking at the NBA spreads for tonight's game, the oddsmakers have the Lakers favored by 12-points over the Bucks at home.

John Salmons really played a nice game against Portland, scoring 23 points on 8-13 shooting. Keyon Dooling added 12 points, and Drew Gooden and Luc Richard Mbah a Moute each had 10 points off the bench.
