Venue: Staples Center
NBA online betting odds:
Wizards -9 (-110) 226½ (-110) -475
Lakers +9 (-110) 226½ (-110) +380
The Wizards are coming off a 127-115 win over the Cavs on Saturday. John Wall posted 37 points and 11 assists, and Otto Porter added seven rebounds. Washington has won nine of its last 13 games although it has covered only in two of the last eight. The Wizards have clinched a playoff berth but have designs on the division and the conference. Meanwhile the Lakers, who lost 81-97 to Portland on Sunday, have pretty much thrown in the towel. D’Angelo Russell scored 22 points, Julius Randle grabbed nine boards, and Jordan Clarkson had six assists, but LAL still dropped their 15th game of the last 17, and the 10th of the last 11 games at home. The Wizards are favoured to win and cover tonight.
