Money line

The Lakers are coming off a win but have not won consecutive games since prevailing in four in a row between Dec. 31 and Jan. 7. Every win since then has been followed by at least one loss. They are also a woeful 10-23 on the road this season.

The Wizards have dropped six straight games, including a 122-109 loss to the Lakers on the road March 11. They are 1 game under .500 at home this season at 17-18. They have alternated wins and losses in their last nine home games, most recently falling to the Nuggets 127-109 Wednesday.

Take the WIZARDS (-140) to win a HALF UNIT.
