Tuesday NBA Betting Online – Lakers at Wizards. The Los Angeles Lakers are favored in Tuesday NBA betting online as they visit the Washington Wizards.The Lakers are almost always favored in NBA betting and even though they started the season off well against the spread, they are struggling now. The Lakers will probably win on Tuesday but the question to ask when you bet at SBG is whether they will cover.
Lakers Failing ATS
Los Angeles has won three of their last four games straight up but they are 0-4 ATS. It is getting tough to bet the Lakers because they are not covering the spread. Los Angeles is 5th in the league in scoring but their defense has not been that great at 15th in the league. The Lakers are not playing good enough defense and it is costing bettors who are laying points with them.
Washington is No Better
You might want to take a shot with the Wizards in this game because the Lakers are overvalued but that is tough to do because Washington isn’t very good. The Wizards have lost their last four games straight up and they are just 1-3 against the spread in those games. It is hard to make a case for Washington right now. Injuries have hurt the Wizards and they are just not a team you can take with confidence.
Ugly Los Angeles Trends
This game has some really ugly trends if you like the Lakers. The Lakers are 7-18-1 ATS in their last 26 vs. Eastern Conference. The Lakers are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 vs. the Southeast. The Lakers are 0-6 ATS in their last 6 road games. The only positive trend for Los Angeles and maybe it is enough is that the Lakers are 8-2 ATS in the last 10 meetings at Washington.
The Under?
Since the Lakers and Wizards have both been so poor against the NBA betting online number, perhaps the total is the way to go. The Under is 7-1 in NBA betting in the Lakers last 8 road games. The Under is 11-2 in the Lakers last 13 overall. The Under is 6-2 in the Wizards last 8 home games. The Under is 19-7 in the Wizards last 26 vs. Western Conference. The only concern is that the Over is 13-6 in the last 19 meetings between the two teams.
