The Wizards are seeded towards the bottom in the East, and they will enter the matchup on the back of a two-game winning streak. The Lakers, on the other hand, have occupied sixth spot in the West with a 28-18 win-loss record, and they will enter the matchup on the back of a loss.&nbsp;<\/p><p>The Lakers are 9-point favorites to dominate the Wizards in their own backyard. These NBA odds tonight suggest that the Lakers are highly likely to take advantage of their overall form against the Wizards. We have got our Best Bet, a same-game parlay and a few player props for tonight&rsquo;s game.&nbsp;<\/p><p>Here&rsquo;s how we are betting the Washington Wizards vs Los Angeles Lakers on Friday.&nbsp;<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Best Bet for Washington Wizards vs Los Angeles Lakers&nbsp;<\/h2><p><strong>Best Bet: Los Angeles Lakers -9 (<a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/go-FanDuel-sports-us-en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>-112<\/a>)<\/strong><\/p><p><strong>Book<\/strong>: Best price at FanDuel&nbsp;<\/p><p>Our best bet for Washington Wizards vs Los Angeles Lakers is Lakers -9 (<a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/go-FanDuel-sports-us-en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>-112<\/a>) against the spread.&nbsp;<\/p><p>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 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nba.com\/stats\/teams\/advanced?dir=A&amp;sort=OFF_RATING\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>seeded eighth in the standings in terms of offense<\/a>, 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.&nbsp;<\/p><p>The spread at Lakers -9 fits the Lakers well considering their offensive edge and the Wizards&rsquo; poor form. The Lakers cover well in such spots.&nbsp;<\/p><p>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.&nbsp;<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Same-Game Parlay Picks for Washington Wizards vs Los Angeles Lakers&nbsp;<\/h2><p><strong>3-Leg SGP (Safer)&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p><ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Leg 1: Los Angeles Lakers -12.5 (alternate spread)&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Leg 2: Luka Doncic Over 33.5 points&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Leg 3: LeBron James Over 23.5 points&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul><p><strong>Combined odds: <a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/go-FanDuel-sports-us-en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>+862<\/a>&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p><p>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.&nbsp;<\/p><p>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.&nbsp;<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Washington Wizards vs Los Angeles Lakers Odds and Top Player Props&nbsp;<\/h2><p>Here are the latest Washington Wizards vs Los Angeles Lakers odds from top sportsbooks.
