137The last time these 2 teams played, the Washington-Wizards gave the LA Lakers Lakers all they could handle and nearly notched a massive upset in National Basketball Association a betting picks.

The truth about the LA Lakers Lakers is that they haven’t been nearly as dominant as they were earlier in the season. In fact, they are just 1-9 against the spread in their last 10 games.

The Wizards could very well be responsible for their recent troubles. Flip Saunder’ crew lost 115-108 exactly a week ago after keeping pace with Kobe for 3 and a half quarters. The LA Lakers Lakers earned the win, but haven’t exactly gone on to bigger and better things. They nearly lost to the Clippers, were buried by the Bulls and barely escaped New Jersey alive.

What hurts the Wizards’ chances in this game is John Wall’s health issues. His knee is swollen, and while the competitive nature of Wall will probably put him in this game for at least a few minutes, he is not at 100-percent, which means the Wizards become a stay-away. He is what makes this team good, and I do not have the same confidence in guys like Arenas or Nick Young at this point.

Let’s also keep in mind that the Wizards are just 1-4 straight up and against the spread when playing the LA Lakers Lakers at home in National Basketball Association a betting picks. This team is a outside shooting team that relies on Young, Arenas and Wall to create their own chances. Andray Baltche is a key component to their success since he is easily the team’s best rebounder. Second chances will not come along for the Wizards until he is back.

Considering how tightly the LA Lakers Lakers have been playing to the chest over the previous week of National Basketball Association a betting picks, they are a very hard pill to swallow, particularly with a big line to cover on the road. But hope is a fickle thing for a bad team like Washington. They fed off of all sorts of momentum when they visited the STAPLES Center a week ago. Kobe and Fisher will not give them that luxury tonight.

Bet on the LA Lakers Lakers to put this game away early while Washington searches for any semblance of rhythm with Wall limping around the court. This is the time the LA Lakers Lakers break their rough streak in National Basketball Association a betting picks so grab it while you can.

Take the Lakers
