Game Prediction
The Los Angeles team is favored by a large number of points tonight against the Washington Wizards for a reason. This is a team that is largely playing better as of late. Furthermore, just like we saw yesterday with the Toronto Raptors, this is a team that can look to run the score up against bad teams. Take aside the Wizards win over the Milwaukee Bucks. This is still a bad team and a bad franchise. Therefore I’m not expecting lightning to strike twice. The Los Angeles Lakers will cover the spread.
Final Pick
Los Angeles Lakers – 12.5 (-112)
