In a losing cause, Andrew Bynum shone for the Lakers, scoring 30 points and 14 rebounds, while Pau Gasol added 20 points and 10 rebounds, but Kobe Bryant struggled towards his 22 points on eight of 26 shooting. The Lakers are now just 6-13 on the road and have won just three of their last nine games away from the Staples Center.The Lakers have been terrible on the road all season, but the Wizards have been terrible no matter where they play. I don’t want to pick the Lakers to cover in this game simply because of the Wizards woes, but I just can’t see the Lakers dropping this game after their painful loss against the Pistons last night.
Meanwhile, the Wizards have lost seven of their last eight games and are coming off a 120-100 loss to the Warriors in their last outing. John Wall had strong outing with 20 points and 14 assists, while Nick Young had 25 points off the bench, but you’re never going to beat the Warriors if you allow them to shoot 54.2 percent from the field and 65.2 percent from the land of plenty. The Wizards have the ability to put up some nice numbers, but the problem has been their lack of attitude and effort.
