After a big win against the Toronto Raptors to snap their three-game losing skid, the LA Lakers travel to Capital One in DC to take on the Washington Wizards. LeBron James pounded the Wizards the last time they met with a historic 50-point masterclass. LA will be undefeated in their season series versus Washington if they get another win.The Lakers’ franchise player and Russell Westbrook were at the forefront of the team’s positive showing. They also got solid contributions from Avery Bradley, who made some big shots down the stretch, Wenyen Gabriel and the savvy Austin Reaves. The morale-boosting win should keep them in high spirits as they take on some familiar faces.The Washington Wizards have now suffered their sixth consecutive defeat, including 8 of their last 10. As the 12th seed in the East, it’ll take a titanic collapse from the Atlanta Hawks to lose the 10th spot that the Wizards have been desperately chasing after.Washington Wizards@WashWizardsMore weekend hoops on the way! @CapitalOneArena🎙 @Team980 @NBCSWashington#DCAboveAll | @CapitalOne10:00 AM · Mar 19, 2022101More weekend hoops on the way!📍 @CapitalOneArena🎙 @Team980📺 @NBCSWashington#DCAboveAll | @CapitalOneKristaps Porzingis, Kyle Kuzma, Corey Kispert and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope had good games against the New York Knicks but were unable to hold on for the win.

They are the road team and have been away from their home floor in their last two games. The oldest team in the league is also on the second night of a back-to-back, which could work to their disadvantage.The Wizards will also be playing the back end of a back-to-back set. However, they will be playing in front of their home crowd and are significantly younger than the veteran Lakers. Washington might be thrilled to face LeBron James again, hoping that they can get back at “King James” after his 50-piece in their previous encounter.Odds sourced from DraftKings SportsbookLA Lakers vs Washington Wizards Betting TipsLA Lakers Betting TipsThe LA Lakers are only 3-7 in their last 10 games while averaging 114.7 points in that span.LA is 3-9 against the spread in their last 12 games.LeBron James and crew are only 1-11 in their last 12 games on the road.Click here to bet on the Lakers scoring over/under 113.5 pointsWashington Wizards Betting TipsThe Wizards' spiraling stretch run is reflected on their 2-8 record in their last 10 games.
