Anyway, with the way NBA is going, you’ll surely have a lot of action to keep your minds off the daily life that can really be grueling and with the way things have been, God bless us! So, yes, the NBA reaching the Postseason window will bring further distraction. So, let us distract ourselves more with the discussion of the game between the LA Lakers and the Washington Wizards.

The Lakers have been one of the worst teams in the league lately and they have been in cold water for too long now. Due to that, making the Play-in tournament has become tougher and with the injury to Anthony Davis, things are becoming worse. On the other hand, the Wizards have been having a similar record and they are troubled right now because the Play-in race has become tougher with each day in the East.

NBA Projections, Stats & Analysis

Match-ups
Kristaps Porzingis has certainly bolstered the scoring of the Wizards but still, the team needs more from the wing position as there have been some efficiency issues. Against the short lineup of the Lakers, Porzingis can generate a quality look and take over the game. On the other hand, if LeBron James plays here, he will give Kuzma and co. a ton of trouble as usual. Russell Westbrook at the one-guard will up against his last season teammate Raul Neto, a match-up that can belong to the Lakers. Malik Monk and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope have been presenting similar output on offense, so that can be an Even Stevens one.

However, Kuzma and Porzingis can combine to overwhelm the frontline of the Lakers although Melo does bring shooting off the bench. Austin Reeves for the Lakers and Corey Kispert for the Wizards are the “X-Factors” for their respective teams so yes, that is a crucial match-up. In terms of the bench, the Wizards seem deeper with Gafford and Hachimura again giving the team the size advantage so perhaps the Lakers may need Dwight Howard to match up in terms of size. So, will the Lakers be overwhelmed by the Wizards’ size, and if LeBron doesn’t play here, their chances of nabbing a win here is slim as it gets.
