The Lakers, sitting at 48-26, are on a serious roll, winners of eight of their last ten and locking up the second seed in the Western Conference. Washington, on the other hand, is just trying to get to the finish line, stumbling in with a 17-57 record and no real hope for the playoffs.
The key matchup here is simple: LeBron James against whoever the Wizards throw at him. Good luck, Washington. The Wizards just gave up 130 points to the Pistons, for crying out loud. And the Lakers are playing some of their best basketball of the season right now, with Anthony Davis putting up MVP-caliber numbers.
This one won't be close. Lakers win 135-108.
