Los Angeles Lakers vs Washington Wizards Prediction & Picks - NBA
by Lou Aguila | in NBA Picks
The Los Angeles Lakers are traveling to the nation's capital for the final game of their six-game road trip, taking on the Washington Wizards on Tuesday at 6 AM US EST.
LeBron James, who is averaging 26.4 points in road games this season, is a hot pick in the player's prop category as bookmakers listed the Lakers star at over/under 24.0 points.
Team Notes:
The Lakers continue to push for the playoffs, winning 7 of their last 8 games and 4 of 5 games on their current road trip. James played terrific in their recent road games as he dropped 40 points against the Brooklyn Nets and followed it up with a 23-point, 9-assist output vs. the Toronto Raptors. At 39, James still leads his team in points (25.4 PPG) and assists (8.1 APG) while shooting 53.6 FG% on the floor.
The Washington Wizards are coming off a huge upset win over the Milwaukee Bucks, 117-113, last Monday. Corey Kispert and Dani Avdija combined for 50 points to help their team beat the No.2 team in the East. Nevertheless, Washington had little answers in containing Giannis Antetokounmpo, who finished with a monster triple-double of 35 points, 15 rebounds, and 10 assists.

Our Los Angeles Lakers vs Washington Wizards Prediction
The Lakers barely escaped with a victory in an overtime classic vs the Wizards, 134-131, last February 29. In that game, James dropped 31 points on 50FG% and 40 3P%. Washington has the worst record of points allowed per game, allowing opponents to score 123 points per contest. Given that Giannis had an easy time scoring the ball vs. the Wizards the other day, James is expected to register big numbers on Tuesday, easily breaching the 24.0-point mark.
Our Betting Pick for Lakers vs. Wizards: Take LeBron James O 24.0 Points (-120) at DraftKings
