(NBA) Washington vs. LA Lakers,
Point Spread: 4.00 | -107.00 Washington (Away)
Result: Loss
Simply put, the Lakers can't be laying a mid-range number like this.

LA is 2-9 SU, 3-7-1 ATS in its last 11 games. The Lakers have been favored four times during this span - and lost each game straight-up.

Even LeBron James admitted the Lakers, ''...don't have a lot of room for error.''

The retooled Wizards, with newcomer Kristaps Porzingis upgrading their frontcourt, have been a competitive 3-4 SU, 4-3 ATS record in their last seven games. One of those point spread losses occurring in double overtime to the Spurs.
