NBA betting late on Thursday night has the Los Angeles Lakers favored against the Washington Wizards in a game televised on TNT. Basketball betting scheduling information shows that both teams played last night as the Wizards were in Sacramento while the Lakers faced the Clippers.
NBA gaming information tells us that this is the third game of a four-game road trip for the Wizards. Washington has done nothing this season but they are not an automatic go-against on the road in basketball betting simply because they are getting a lot of points. The Wizards are just under .500 this season on the road versus the NBA gambling number.
The Lakers have won six of the last ten games straight up against Washington but they are only 5-5 against the NBA odds. Los Angles is only 2-2 straight up in the last four home meetings against Washington and they are an even worse 1-3 against the NBA odds.
The Wizards have been a poor NBA wager for much of the season. Antawn Jamison is still a force in scoring and Caron Butler also has the ability to impact the NBA betting number but overall the Wizards are looking to next season.
The Lakers have the best offense in the NBA as basketball betting stats show led by Kobe Bryant. Los Angeles is no bargain though at home versus the NBA pointspread and they once again are below .500 laying points at home.
The over/under is 5-5 in the last ten meetings between the two teams as basketball betting stats have it. At Los Angeles, three of the last four games between the two teams have gone over the NBA betting total. Earlier this season at Washington the teams just barely went under the NBA total of 213 as the Lakers won 106-104.
NBA betting gamblers have a choice late Thursday night. Do they lay the big points in NBA betting and hope the Lakers cover or do they take the inferior team and hope for a backdoor cover. Open a New Account at SBG Global today and make your NBA betting choice.
