The Lakers have recovered from a 3 game losing streak to begin March, with 5 consecutive wins, defeating Minnesota at home by 8 points on Friday to lift their season record to 51-18, 31-5 at home and a hold of 1st place in the Pacific division. Washingtons losing streak extended to 10 with a hard fought loss in Portland on Friday, to leave them with a 21-46 season record, 9-24 away and sitting in last place in the Southeast division.

The teams have met 5 times since February 2008, with the Lakers winning on each occasion.

Washington have covered the line in 7 of their last 9 away games against teams with a home win/loss record above 60%, and 4 of their last 5 away games as an underdog of at least 11 points, while the Lakers have covered in just 1 of their last 7 games as a favourite of at least 11 points, and 24 of their last 75 home games as a favourite of at least 11 points.
