LOSS

Washington has a winning record both home and away keyed by defense at #9 in the NBA in points allowed, plus #6 in field goal shooting defense. The Wizards are 7-3 ATS against the Pacific Division and 11-4 ATS vs. a team with a winning percentage below .400. John Wall has gotten back on track with a combined 44 points on 18-of-33 shooting in the first two games of this trip. Washington is 17-4 when Wall scores at least 18 points - a mark he's surpassed in each of his three career road games against the Lakers. He's averaged 24.7 points and 14.7 assists while shooting 50.0% from the field in those contests. The Lakers are a mess on defense at #29 in points allowed and just lost their best offensive player, Kobe Bryant. LA is on a 0-7-1 ATS run. The Lakers have given up 114.7 points per game in the past three meetings with Washington. The road team is 7-2-1 ATS in the last 10 meetings, and Washington is 4-1-1 ATS against the Lakers, including 4-0 ATS at the Staples Center. Lay the points on Washington.
