The Washington Wizards are continuing their six-game road trip out west as they take on the Los Angeles Lakers tonight at Crypto.com Arena.

The Wizards began their west coast tour over the weekend, losing in northern California to the Golden State Warriors and Sacramento Kings to extend their losing streak to 10 games. It marks the second time this season where the Wizards lost double-digit games in multiple stretches during the season. Washington lost 16 games from the beginning of November to mid-December.

In order to snap the losing streak tonight, they will have to go through LeBron James and the Lakers, who are 22-18 through 40 games. The Lakers lost their most recent matchup to the Los Angeles Clippers, so they are coming into the game looking to bounce back in a big way.

They are looking at the Wizards as prey hoping to be able to get right back in the win column.
