For the latest NBA betting trends and NBA free picks on Saturday\u2019s game, check out our Wizards vs Lakers preview below.<\/p>\n The Los Angeles Lakers season has been a complete letdown. This team is currently in ninth place of the Western Conference and are 29-40.<\/p>\n Everybody thought that they\u2019d potentially play better after the All-Star break, but that has certainly not been the case as they\u2019re 2-8 in their last 10 games. They\u2019re going to be coming into this one after an embarrassing loss against the Minnesota Timberwolves.<\/p>\n Los Angeles lost by 20 in this game, as LeBron James led the way with only 19 points.<\/p>\n On the season, the Lakers have the 24th rated net rating, the 25th rated offensive rating, and the 18th rated defensive rating.<\/p>\n The Washington Wizards are another team that\u2019s had a disappointing season. Due to the Bradley Beal injury, they decided to trade away a few of their pieces during the trade deadline to try to retool around him when he does return next season.<\/p>\n Washington is going to be coming into this one losing five games in a row. It looks like their playoff hopes might be down the drain if this keeps up.<\/p>\n They will be coming into this one after losing to the Denver Nuggets 127-109 in their most recent game on Wednesday. But, Washington will be coming into this one on a back-to-back, as they take on the New York Knicks on Friday.<\/p>\n Let\u2019s check out some of the NBA betting trends for the game below.<\/p>\n For this game, I think I\u2019m going to go with the Los Angeles Lakers to win outright. I hate putting my money on the Los Angeles Lakers, but the Washington Wizards have been just as worse, if not worse than the Lakers have been during the past few weeks.<\/p>\n If Los Angeles is going to want to solidify a playoff spot down the stretch, they\u2019re really going to have to start waking up. I don\u2019t necessarily think that is going to happen, but I do think they win this one.<\/p>\n Get free NBA bets for the Lakers vs Wizards game at BetOnline below.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Washington Wizards are set to take on the Los Angeles Lakers on Saturday at 8 EST.
