Coming off a rough loss to the Philadelphia 76ers, the Los Angeles Lakers have a prime opportunity to get back on track as they continue their road trip against the Washington Wizards on Thursday night.
The Wizards come in with the worst record in the NBA at 6-40 having lost 15 straight games. Included in that was a blowout loss to the Lakers last week.
Still though, the Lakers cannot take this team lightly as they are coming into this matchup shorthanded. Anthony Davis is out due to an abdominal strain that will keep him sidelined for at least a week.
