The Los Angeles Lakers seem to be out for blood, and their next victims might just be the Washington Wizards. LA enters this game with 11 wins in their last 12 games, while the Wizards come in off the back of 18 defeats in 19 games. Which team extends their run tonight? Find out in our match prediction.
The Lakers have bounced back from their three-point away loss to the Pistons just six days ago with back-to-back wins over the Indiana Pacers (137-130) and Brooklyn Nets (166-99). With their position in 3rd place in the Western Conference still under threat from at least three teams, the Lakers are on a mission to win every last game.
Washington now offers LA a chance to cement their position with what’s looking like another routine victory. Ironically, while the Wizards should naturally be desperate to end their losing run, they might subtly tank the final chapter of the season for a more favourable draft pick position with nothing left to play for.
Not only have they lost 18 of the last 19 games, but they’ve lost 11 of those 18 games by 13+ points. The Lakers thrashed the Wizards 142-111 last time out, winning by 31 points. Can they do so by 13+ points at home to a flopping Washington side tonight?

Our Los Angeles Lakers vs Washington Wizards Prediction
Even with Luka Doncic out with a suspension for tonight’s game, the Lakers are well-equipped, with the likes of Austin Reaves and LeBron James, to beat the Wizards. The contrast in offensive rating and points per game is just too high.
And to top it off, the Wizards concede the 2nd-most points per game, which plays right into the hands of the Lakers, who have the highest FG% efficiency in the league. Hence, our Los Angeles Lakers vs Washington Wizards prediction is Lakers -12.5 points.
All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
