Why the Lakers are underdogs
While the Lakers have had issues all season, oddsmakers could be reading into James’ status for Saturday night. The 4-time MVP is questionable heading into the contest with a knee ailment and it’s certainly possible that he sits this contest out.
Talen Horton-Tucker, Wayne Ellington and Wenyen Gabriel are all questionable as well. Anthony Davis and Kendrick Nunn both remain out.
For the WIzards, it’s possible Kristaps Porzingis sits out the contest (back-to-back).
