For the Washington Wizards that is not happening. The back end of their current four-game West Coast trip is not doing them any favors. After a game tonight in Sacramento, they have to play games at the Los Angeles Lakers and the Portland Trail Blazers.

The Wizards were probably not too thrilled to see Kobe Bryant tape up his dislocated finger on Monday night and help the Lakers beat the Cavs. Bryant spoke to reporters just minutes after x-rays showed no fracture and said he hadn’t sustained this kind of injury before, but didn’t believe he would miss any time.

Another area of concern for the Wizards is their offense. Washington is averaging 90.2 points in January and Caron Butler in particular has struggled, averaging 16.2 points.

The Wizards are 4-1 ATS in their last five vs. the Pacific. Be sure to place your basketball bets in the Bodog Sportsbook.
