We've got another exciting interconference contest on Tuesday's NBA schedule as the Los Angeles Lakers will host the Washington Wizards. Los Angeles is 22-18 overall and 14-6 at home, while Washington is 6-35 overall and 1-17 on the road.

The Wizards are simply a bad basketball team. Losers of 10 straight, Washington is led by Jordan Poole and Kyle Kuzma. The Lakers lost Sunday to the Clippers to snap a modest 2-game winning streak. Anthony Davis leads LA in scoring (25.6) and rebounding (11.8) for the season.

LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers are in a great spot to make a move up the Western Conference standings – or at least give themselves some more breathing room on the No. 6 seed – when they take on the six-win Washington Wizards on Tuesday night.
