The Wizards will play a back-to-back game against the Los Angeles Lakers. Yesterday, the team hosted Toronto at home and suffered another defeat - their 15th in a row. Washington struggled to overcome the mark even at 80 points and lost 82:106.
Washington has only 6 wins and 40 losses since the start of the championship. The Wizards are still far away from the NBA record for the longest losing streak, which was set by Detroit last season - 27 consecutive losses. But the Metropolitan team is still in contention for the worst win-loss record in league history. Philadelphia finished 1972/73 with the lowest winning percentage in a season of 82 games, with only 9 wins.
Los Angeles Lakers
The Lakers approached their previous matchup against Philadelphia having won four straight games. LeBron James and company beat Washington (111:88) and Boston (117:96) at home, and on the road they coped with Golden State (118:108) and Charlotte (112:107).
The meeting in Philly, however, did not go well for Los Angeles. After a solid start, the Lakers began to dabble with their lineup, in particular, releasing Bronny James in the first quarter. It didn't take long for Seventy Sixers guard Tyrese Maxey to be punished. He scored 43 points and gave his team a 118:104 victory.
At the same time, we must admit that the Lakers had the right to misfire. First of all, this game was a back-to-back game for the team from Los Angeles. Second, the Lakers have a comfortable tournament position - fifth place in the Western Conference with a balance of 26-19.
H2H Meetings
The Lakers have five straight wins over Washington.
Expert Betting Tips
The capital team has won only six games for the entire season and it is unclear at the expense of what can reverse this situation. At least not in a game against the Lakers. The team from Los Angeles is having a quality championship, winning six of the last eight games, and in the last game against Philadelphia, they lost more to themselves than to their opponent. We bet on a convincing win for the Lakers and a total under - the recent first meeting between the teams in the current season turned out to be very low-scoring.
