The Los Angeles Lakers fan are really worried about superstar Anthony Davis for his status against the Washington Wizards.

Hosting the Washington Wizards at Crypto.com Arena on Tuesday night, the Lakers initially listed Davis as questionable on their injury report due to right calf soreness. This is a different injury listing than the left plantar fasciitis that kept Davis out on Jan. 17 against the Brooklyn Nets.

Anthony Davis and LeBron James lead the Los Angeles Lakers in a perfect bounce-back opportunity against the struggling Washington Wizards.

The Wizards are simply a bad basketball team. Losers of 10 straight, Washington is led by Jordan Poole and Kyle Kuzma. The Lakers lost Sunday to the Clippers to snap a modest 2-game winning streak. Anthony Davis leads LA in scoring (25.6) and rebounding (11.8) for the season.

Jordan Poole will lead the Washington Wizards (6-35) into a road matchup with Anthony Davis and the Los Angeles Lakers (22-18) at Crypto.com Arena on Tuesday, with the opening tip at 10:30 PM

Due to those notions though, the Lakers scouting department understandably had their eyes elsewhere. One name the Lakers reportedly coveted was Bub Carrington before he was selected at No. 14 by the Portland Trail Blazers then traded to the Washington Wizards, per Dave McMenamin of ESPN:

We've got another exciting interconference contest on Tuesday's NBA schedule as the Los Angeles Lakers will host the Washington Wizards. Los Angeles is 22-18 overall and 14-6 at home, while Washington is 6-35 overall and 1-17 on the road.

My NBA picks for Tuesday, January 21, also focus on the NBA player props of LeBron James and fade those of D'Angelo Russell. D'Angelo Russell is coming off a nine-point performance against the Thunder, during which he made just six field goal attempts in 24 minutes.

It's Lakers vs Wizards on Jan. 21 in the NBA. Here's how to watch, including time, channel, TV schedule and streaming info.
