KEY GAME INFORMATION
WASHINGTON: GUARDS: Late last year, JOHN WALL finally started to fulfill his promising talent. He got wherever he wanted on the court, and the Wizards were very tough to guard with all the shooters surrounding him . . . BRADLEY BEAL and Wall should mesh beautifully. Beal is a potentially elite shooter, and he rebounds very well for a guard . . . ERIC MAYNOR is fully healthy again after tearing his ACL two seasons ago. He can play some alongside Wall, but mostly he'll be the league's best back-up point guard again . . . GLEN RICE JR. doesn't shoot it nearly as well as his father, but he's an athlete who could break into the rotation down the line . . . GARRETT TEMPLE is insurance in case Wall or Maynor goes down. FORWARDS: The Wizards need NENÊ’S low post offense. It seems inevitable that they'll have to cap his minutes . . . OTTO PORTER is likely to step into the starting lineup early on. They need his defense, as he can guard twos through fours . . . MARTELL WEBSTER will platoon with Porter, providing another outstanding shooter for Wall to feed . . . TREVOR ARIZA is playing out the string on an untradeable deal . . . TREVOR BOOKER has some use as a screener and low-post banger, but not much else . . . AL HARRINGTON may be inefficient, but he can score points in a hurry and is a decent defender'JAN VESELY is still trying to figure out the NBA, though it's too early to give up on his athleticism . . . CHRIS SINGLETON can defend, but he's no more than a garbage-time player due to his atrocious offense. CENTERS: EMEKA OKAFOR may be absurdly overpaid, but he's settled in as a passable starter who helps defensively and doesn't hurt on offense. He'll also miss the beginning of the season with a herniated disc . . . With Okafor's deal expiring at the end of the year, KEVIN SERAPHIN is auditioning to be Washington's center of the future. After showing promise two seasons ago, he was a disaster last season.
LA LAKERS: GUARDS: KOBE BRYANT is 35 and coming off a ruptured Achilles. Even if he is ready for the season opener (as expected), Achilles injuries have drained the athleticism out of younger men . . . STEVE NASH enters the year healthy, but the training staff has discussed a minutes cap for the 39-year-old point guard . . . NICK YOUNG could grab that other starting wing spot, opposite his boyhood idol. How those two gunners could co-exist is something we'd love to see . . . STEVE BLAKE looked good in this offense last season, but is strictly a back-up . . . JODIE MEEKS might shoot his way into a much bigger role this season . . . XAVIER HENRY will need to prove a lot to earn himself minutes . . . What are you complaining about, Lakers fans? You got JORDAN FARMAR back! FORWARDS: PAU GASOL should benefit from the departure of Dwight Howard, who never bought into head coach Mike D'Antoni's offense or even tried to mesh with Gasol. D'Antoni's up-tempo, Euro-style system is perfectly suited to Gasol's strengths. And when Nash sits, they can run a lot of sets through their big man . . . WESLEY JOHNSON will have a chance to grab the vacant small forward spot. The former No. 4 overall pick has been a big disappointment through three seasons, but he looked decent as a spot-up shooter last seasons . . . JORDAN HILL will be the first big man off the bench in a thin frontcourt rotation. He can rebound and clean up around the basket a bit . . . ELIAS HARRIS keeps the Gonzaga connection going . . . SHAWNE WILLIAMS has had success for D'Antoni, but he is far removed from his days contributing for the Knicks. CENTERS: CHRIS KAMAN is the consolation prize after Dwight Howard's departure. Yes, it's a monstrous downgrade talent-wise, but as a skilled 7-footer, Kaman at least fits D'Antoni's system better . . . ROBERT SACRE has a chance to develop into a useful back-up center.

*Wizards-Lakers Preview* ========================

By ALAN FERGUSON STATS Writer

Washington (35-33) at Los Angeles (22-45), 10:30 p.m. EDT

The short-handed Washington Wizards will try to earn the first win on their Western road trip by continuing their recent success over the scuffling Los Angeles Lakers.

While likely missing a pair of big men, the Wizards will seek their third win in a row in the series and fourth in five games Friday night.

Washington (35-33) is 0-2 on its four-game trek after a 116-103 defeat to Portland on Thursday. The Wizards opened this trip with a 117-111 overtime loss at lowly Sacramento on Tuesday.

They blew an 11-point lead in the fourth quarter against the Kings but trailed by double digits for all of the final period Thursday. Washington allowed an average of 98.0 points in the four games before heading out west.

The Wizards also played Thursday without leading rebounder and shot blocker Marcin Gortat. The center missed his first game this season after injuring his back in pregame warmups.

"'Things aren't going our way right now," point guard John Wall said. "Some guys are down, but there are no excuses. We know we should be 1-1 on this trip right now. Two more games left to put this one behind us. Win the next two, go home even."

With Gortat's status unknown, Washington will seek to get its trip back on track by earning another win over the Lakers (22-45). The Wizards registered a 116-111 home victory Nov. 26 in the only other matchup this season.

Wall led the way with 31 points, and Nene matched a career high with 30. The forward hasn't played since Feb. 23 because of a sprained left knee ligament.

Drew Gooden has attempted to replace his production by averaging 19.0 points on 61.8 percent shooting and 8.0 rebounds in the last three games. Gooden, signed for the rest of the season Tuesday, had 18 points and nine boards in Thursday's loss while Wall totaled 24 points and 14 assists.

Los Angeles didn't have Kobe Bryant, Steve Nash and Chris Kaman available for their most recent matchup with Washington. The Lakers will likely be more short-handed for this one even with Nick Young expected to return from a left knee injury.

Along with Bryant, Nash and Kaman, Los Angeles also played without Jordan Farmar and Jordan Hill in its third consecutive loss and sixth in seven games Wednesday, 125-109 to visiting San Antonio. Xavier Henry had 24 points, second-most in his career, in the defeat.

The Lakers trailed by just five entering the fourth quarter against the league-leading Spurs but were outscored 33-22 in that final period.

"In (a 119-85 loss at San Antonio last Friday), the effort wasn't there and the toughness wasn't there, and we got beat by a lot," forward Ryan Kelly said. "We realized we can't play that way, and tonight was different. We have to build off this and play like this all the time so that we put ourselves in a position to win some games."

The Lakers, who have yielded 106 or more points in each of their last 12 games, had a four-game home win streak over the Wizards snapped with a 103-100 defeat March 22. Trevor Ariza had a team-leading 25 points off the bench in that game, and Wall contributed 24 points and a career-high 16 assists.
