Kuzma faces off against the Lakers on Thursday night and he always tries to push a little bit extra against his former team. He is averaging a double double against them in his career, the only team in the league lol.
He has exceeded 6.5 in 6/6 games since 2022 and is averaging 10.2 over this stretch. His last 4 games are 9, 12, 10, 16. This is worth running up a little bit given the motivation exists against them plus the absence of Anthony Davis.

LAL -7-115
0.87u
Lakers have clear advantages – offense ranks 11th in FG% (47.7), while Wizards sit at 29th (43.6). They just got smoked 111-88 by L.A. last week. Key edge in transition – L.A. forces 12.8 TOs per game, Washington struggles with 15.4. Lakers also top-10 in AST/TO ratio, keeping possessions efficient.
Washington’s struggles are glaring – lost 15 straight, worst record in the NBA. They allow 122 PPG (30th), struggle in 3PT defense (36.4 Opp 3P%). At home, they’re just 5-18 ATS, Lakers 13-9 ATS on the road. Washington ranking 27th in points in paint allowed.
Wizards' last five losses by an average margin of 19.2 points. LeBron (13 assists last meeting) thrives against Washington’s weak perimeter D. Lakers’ bench scoring outmatches Washington’s, giving them another edge.
Under 224.5-110
1u
Lakers missing Anthony Davis – their most consistent scorer (25.7 PPG). Without him, they struggled offensively vs. Philly (104 pts, 22 TOs). LeBron still producing, but supporting cast inefficient. Lakers' last five: 103.4 PPG, shooting just 42.4% FG, 32.7% 3PT.
Wizards' offense is a disaster – 96.0 PPG in their last five, shooting just 39.4% FG, 28.4% from three. They managed only 82 points vs. Toronto, 88 in their last matchup with LA. Their pace has slowed, turnovers (27 vs. TOR) limiting shot attempts. Bottom 5 in offensive efficiency.
Recent trends favor the under – last matchup finished 111-88 (total: 199). Lakers' defense tightening up, allowing just 103.4 PPG last five. Washington struggling to even reach 100. Both teams' recent offensive struggles make this total too high.

Nut matchup vs WAS without Anthony Davis and DFS so he’ll start, but has averaged just 0.51 PRA per min this season in similar situations per RotoGrinders CourtIQ. Assuming he sees 27 minutes, that puts him closer to 13.77 PRA in a neutral matchup.
RotoGrinders projections have him at 27 mins and 16.8 PRA, which makes sense as that factors in the matchup. Some fragility here as it’s possible he sees a larger workload than expected, but I think based on his rates this season I like the under.
