Los Angeles came out firing after a heartbreaking overtime loss against Boston as the Lakers shot 53 percent and defeated Denver 126-108 on Friday night. However, Anthony Davis is hurt again and he is listed as out for this game. The Lakers have lost four of six, including two overtime games and still are not a big favorite versus Washington, which lost to the Clippers on this floor last night. The Wizards are going through a rough stretch and this will be their seventh of 10 road games. Washington has at least one factor in its favor and that is the Wizards are 37-17-2 ATS their past 56 games playing with no rest and the Lakers are 19-40-1 ATS following a win and they still are a mediocre 3-point shooting team with a .322 percentage. Take the points with the Wizards.
