Free Washington Wizards vs. Los Angeles Lakers NBA Prediction:
The Wizards haven’t been down on their luck in the wins department like this in over a decade. Seriously. It’s that bad in the nation’s capital.
The Wizards dropped a league-worst ninth straight on Saturday to the Clippers, and no other team has lost more than four in a row entering games on Sunday.
Right now, there’s not much sign of life indicating they’ll avoid a 10th straight.
Give this one to the home Lakers, and while you should keep an eye on where oddsmakers set the line, you should also expect a big Lakers win with their stars seemingly ready to suit up come Sunday.
Lakers straight up…and they’re going to push double digits.
