Betting Trends for vs
Washington remains with an outside shot at landing the final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference but must nearly win out to do so. Therefore, much more is on line in this matchup for the Wizards. The Lakers may find it hard to “get up” for this game as it means little and is not against a high-profile opponent. Look for a disinterested Lakers squad to lose to the Wizards. Final Score Prediction, Washington Wizards win and cover ATS 120-115.
