They’re in ninth place in the Western Conference. With 12 games left on their schedule, they hold a one-game lead over the 10th-place Pelicans and a 3.5-game lead over the Spurs and Trail Blazers, who are tied for 11th place.

The Wizards have lost six games in a row, recently dropping a 100-97 decision at the New York Knicks Friday. The Wizards return home for this one vs. the Lakers before hitting the road for three games. They are currently out of the playoff picture as they are in 12th place in the East.

Lakers at Wizards odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Wizards 114, Lakers 110

Money line

The Lakers are coming off a win but have not won consecutive games since prevailing in four in a row between Dec. 31 and Jan. 7. Every win since then has been followed by at least one loss. They are also a woeful 10-23 on the road this season.

The Wizards have dropped six straight games, including a 122-109 loss to the Lakers on the road March 11. They are 1 game under .500 at home this season at 17-18. They have alternated wins and losses in their last nine home games, most recently falling to the Nuggets 127-109 Wednesday.

Take the WIZARDS (-150) to win a HALF UNIT.

Against the spread

Both teams’ ATS records are similar to their win/loss records. The Lakers are 29-40-1 ATS and 14-19 ATS on the road.

The Wizards are 26-41-2 ATS overall and 15-19-1 ATS at home.

The Lakers have not covered the spread in a loss since Feb. 16.

Take the WIZARDS -2.5 (-120).

Over/Under

Eight of the last 10 games for the Wizards have hit the Over. Before scoring only 97 in their loss Friday to the New York Knicks, they averaged 115.0 points per game in their previous eight games.

The Lakers have averaged 114.7 points per game over their last 10.

However, with a high projected total, can one or both teams get into the 120’s? I’m not sure.

LEAN UNDER 227.5 (-110).

Lakers at Wizards: Odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Wizards 119, Lakers 115

Money line (ML)

The WIZARDS (+125) are a solid play as short ‘dogs at home. They won the first meeting Feb. 22 in Los Angeles by a 127-124 score in overtime as seven-point underdogs. While the Lakers did not have Anthony Davis in the lineup that day, LeBron was still healthy and playing.

Washington is playing much better lately, winning eight of the past nine, going 7-2 ATS.

Against the spread (ATS)

The WIZARDS +3 (-110) are the play here, although they’re a much better play straight up on the money line unless you think the Lakers -3 (-110) are going to win by a bucket or less.

Over/Under (O/U)

OVER 223.5 (-110) is the way to go here. Washington is on a 3-0 Over run, averaging a ridiculous 130.3 PPG. The Wizards have allowed 107 or more points in five straight. The first meeting saw a total of 251 points in an overtime win by the Wizards as the Over easily hit, too.
