Here’s how we are betting the Washington Wizards vs Los Angeles Lakers on Friday.

Best Bet for Washington Wizards vs Los Angeles Lakers

Best Bet: Los Angeles Lakers -9 (-112)

Book: Best price at FanDuel

Our best bet for Washington Wizards vs Los Angeles Lakers is Lakers -9 (-112) against the spread.

The Los Angeles Lakers have been one of the most dominating teams in the league. While they have had their few hiccups every now and then, they manage to get back on track, courtesy of players such as Luka Doncic. The Lakers are seeded eighth in the standings in terms of offense, and 25th in terms of defense. The Wizards, on the other hand, have been struggling with poor form. Despite coming off two wins, they have one of the worst offenses and defenses in the league. This signifies that while the Lakers are struggling defensively, they still have got an edge over the Wizards.

The spread at Lakers -9 fits the Lakers well considering their offensive edge and the Wizards’ poor form. The Lakers cover well in such spots.

Considering their overall form, better offense and defense, we are laying the Los Angeles Lakers -9 (-112) as our Best Bet and expect the visitors to cover the number tonight.

Same-Game Parlay Picks for Washington Wizards vs Los Angeles Lakers

3-Leg SGP (Safer)

Leg 1: Los Angeles Lakers -12.5 (alternate spread)
Leg 2: Luka Doncic Over 33.5 points
Leg 3: LeBron James Over 23.5 points

Combined odds: +862

We have built this same-game parlay around the Los Angeles Lakers to record a comfortable victory on the road. Luka Doncic is dominating the Lakers as well as the league in scoring, and he is expected to put up another stellar show. James is a reliable player, who has years of experience who still holds the magic.

These legs are correlated considering if the Lakers dominate the court right from the beginning, their players will end up getting more chances to score. We can then expect Doncic and James to come up with higher scores. Hence, this is our safer SGP option.

Top Player Props for Washington Wizards vs Los Angeles Lakers

Given how prop-heavy NBA betting is, we are also eyeing these player props for tonight’s game.

Austin Reaves Over 15.5 points (-118)
Alex Sarr Over 19.5 points (-112)
Luka Doncic over 7.5 rebounds (-122)

These legs fit well into usage and volume. Austin Reaves has been listed as questionable on the injury report. If he returns to action, we can expect him to come up with a decent number considering the Wizards have a poor defense. Alex Sarr is now leading the Wizards’ offense, and he would be expected to push himself to keep his team in the game. If Doncic plays, he is likely to have his dominance on the glass.
