Washington Wizards Form
Washington head to Los Angeles on a terrible run of form, having now lost each of their last 10 games.
The Wizards’ last win came on New Year’s Day when they beat Chicago 125-107, which was immediately followed by back-to-back defeats to New Orleans, 132-120 and 110-98.
They then lost 135-112 at home to Houston, before heading out on the road to lose 109-103 in Philadelphia and 138-105 at Chicago.
Washington’s losing run continued when they returned home for defeats to Oklahoma City, 136-95, Minnesota, 120-106, and Phoenix, 130-123.
The Wizards then saw their skid reach 10 games as they went out on the road to lose 122-114 at Golden State and 123-100 in Sacramento.
Los Angeles Lakers Form
Los Angeles go into this game looking to rebound from their fourth defeat in their last six games.
The Lakers enjoyed a winning start to 2025 as they recorded back-to-back victories, beating Portland 114-106 and Atlanta 119-102.
They failed to keep that run going as they then went out on the road to lose 119-115 in Houston and 118-97 at Dallas.
Los Angeles then fell 126-102 at home to San Antonio, before rallying to beat Miami 117-108 and Brooklyn 102-101.
The Lakers failed to make it three wins in a row though, as they were beaten 116-106 at the LA Clippers last weekend.
