LA Lakers (48-26) versus Washington Wizards (17-57) is an inter-conference matchup on Monday night at the Crypto.com Arena. The Lakers will be looking to extend their two-game winning streak after flooring the Nets and the Pacers in their previous assignments. As of now, they’re third in the Western Conference standings, eight games behind the Spurs and just a game ahead of the Nuggets. It will be a do-or-die game as they look to clinch a playoff spot.
Washington Wizards, who are now the current employers of Anthony Davis, have looked out of their depth this season. The Wizards have lost nine of their last 10 assignments and are on a two-game slide. This embarrassing run leaves them 14th in the Eastern Conference standings, having already lost the play-in race. To be honest, they’ll be under minimal pressure to win this match tonight.

Our Los Angeles Lakers vs Washington Wizards Prediction
Let’s be honest; the Wizards will be under minimal pressure to win unless they want to jeopardize their chances of a Top 8 Draft pick. Therefore, we expect the Lakers to dominate this contest from start to finish. They won the first half in eight of their last nine matches, whereas the Wizards lost in 14 of their last 15 first halves. However, LA will be without Luca Doncic, who is suspended for this game. That means Reaves and James will have many touches. Both superstars should perhaps get more ball-handling duties, leading to extra shooting opportunities. They should single-handedly win it for the Lakers, who we suspect will cope well without Doncic.
Our prediction for LA Lakers vs Washington Wizards: Austin Reaves to score over 25 points.
