Washington Wizards - Toronto Raptors

I will try a strong performance by JV tonight. The Lakers without Davis will be weak in the post, both Koloko and Hayes are not physically strong centers which will allow JV to dominate over them, and Sarr will not play, which will also give Jonas more playing time. There have been periods for Jonas where he has reached over 20 points in a game this season, including his recent 5-point game against the Kings. Playing against the Lakers, there will also be personal motivation, as there is a good chance that the future team will be the same.

The Lakers will play their third game in four days. LeBron doesn't seem to age and it's really difficult to keep up with such a pace, especially with all the away games. The most important thing here is that Anthony Davis won't be playing, who is the main support for the team at the moment. The Wizards are going through a tough losing streak, but such series always come to an end, especially in the NBA. There will definitely be a lot at stake here.
