Three Things to Know: Lakers vs. Wizards 12-18-22 (Lakers.com)

And if Bryant can get some easy baskets in transition, it will go a long way in helping to supplement some of the production gone with Davis out. And while it was Kuzma who had the bigger game back in Washington, the prospect of dealing with Porzingis' size and scoring versatility without AD is daunting. LeBron, however, will need help offensively and, like the Nuggets game where seven Lakers scored in double figures, it will need to be a group effort.

I think the Wizards have a decent chance to upset the Lakers here with Davis out. Trust the Wizards to cover the +4.5 in L.A. The Wizards should have no issue scoring on this shorthanded Lakers defense even with Bryant on the floor. On the offensive end, the Wizards should have some success against a Lakers defense down their best defender. With him on the floor, the Lakers allow 5.0 fewer points in the paint per 100 possessions, according to The Wizards didn’t have to travel for this one and the Lakers are worse on both ends without Davis. We may be compensated for the links provided on this page. The Wizards match up well with the Lakers’ offense as they rank eighth in Rim Rate allowed and fifth in 3-point rate allowed. The Wizards are reeling: They have the longest losing streak in the NBA and have lost 12 of their past 13 games. The Wizards have completely fallen apart after starting the season 11-10.
