NBAThursday, 29 February 2024 at 22:00
Back-to-back games for LeBron James, Anthony Davis and Los Angeles Lakers, coming from a very important win last night against the Clippers. The Washington Wizards will be visiting the Crypto.com Arena and try to neutralize them with their own stars, Kyle Kuzma and Jordan Poole.
The Wizards will serve as visitors in a game in which they have little to look forward to beyond beating the Lakers in their own homecourt. The Wizards find themselves in 14th place in the Eastern Conference with a 9-49 record, tied for worst with the Detroit Pistons (last at 9-49). Washington has lost no fewer than its last 12 games.

In addition, the game takes on special importance for the purple and gold as LeBron James is 40 points away from surpassing 40,000 in his career, and tonight he will have the opportunity to reach that absolutely historic mark.
