*10* Total Of The Week UNDER Lakers/Wizards.

The Los Angeles Lakers suffered a seventh consecutive loss and were held to 91 points when they lost to the Sixers. The Washington Wizards ended a four-game slide with a 97-85 win at Cleveland yesterday, and I think we'll see a slow low-scoring game between two teams playing on back-to-back nights.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. The Wizards' Offense - Washington has been held to 97 points or less in all but one of its last six games and it has been unable to climb over 90 on two occasions during that span.

2. Situational - Nine of the Wizards last 12 games playing on back-to-back nights have gone under the total and the under is 7-2 in the Lakers last nine away from home.

3. X-Factor - Los Angeles has the worst field goal percentage in the league with just 40.8.

Selection: This is a play on LAL@WAS to go UNDER the total (10*)
