They and the Los Angeles Lakers will face off at 7:00 p.m. ET at Capital One Arena without much rest after finishing up games yesterday. Both teams come into the match bolstered by wins in their previous matches.

The Wizards can finally bid farewell to their three-game losing streak thanks to their game on Tuesday. They snuck past the Bucks with a 117-113 victory.

The Wizards got their win on the backs of several key players, but it was Corey Kispert out in front who scored 27 points along with seven rebounds. Deni Avdija, on the other hand, was considerably less helpful: he went 0-5 from beyond the arc.

Meanwhile, the Lakers strolled past the Raptors with points to spare on Tuesday, taking the game 128-111. Los Angeles pushed the score to 100-79 by the end of the third, a deficit Toronto cut but never quite recovered from.

LeBron James was his usual excellent self, almost dropping a double-double on 23 points and nine assists.

Washington's victory ended a three-game drought at home and bumped them up to 15-61. As for Los Angeles, they have been performing incredibly well recently as they've won seven of their last eight contests, which provided a massive bump to their 43-33 record this season.

Not only did both teams in this Wednesday's game win their last matches, they also took care of their bettors and covered the spread. As for their next game, the game looks promising for the Lakers, as the team is favored by a full 12.5 points. They might be worth a quick bet since they're sitting on a four game streak of covering the spread when expected to win.

The Wizards couldn't quite finish off the Lakers when the teams last played back in February and fell 134-131. A big factor in that loss was the dominant performance of the Lakers' Anthony Davis, who dropped a double-double on 40 points and 15 rebounds. Now that the Wizards know the damage he can cause, will they be able to stop him this time? There's only one way to find out.
