Our Washington Wizards vs Los Angeles Lakers Prediction
Fearless Forecast: The Lakers bounce back with a blowout over the Washington Wizards 127-112
Reason: The Lakers are expected to vent their frustrations on the fledgling Wizards, who have won their last two games. Los Angeles could not match the firepower of the red-hot Cavaliers in their last game, but I am confident they will still be too much for the Wizards, who are 1-9 SU in its last 10 games against an opponent in the Western Conference.
The Lakers could also get Austin Reeves back for this game, as the injury report listed him as a game-time decision. Reeves, who hasn’t played since December 26 because of a left calf strain, should provide a much-needed firepower for the Lakers after their 99-point bummer vs. the Cavs.
