Washington Wizards vs Los Angeles Clippers prediction

The Washington Wizards are obviously capable of getting their boots smoked, as they're on the end of a back to back and don't play much defense. The Los Angeles Clippers are arguably the best team in the league and due for a snap back performance. With all that said, 15 points is a lot to lay in an NBA game. This is also a look ahead spot for the Clippers, with the Bucks and Timberwolves on deck next. The Wizards nearly upset the Lakers last night, which could provide this young team with a confidence boost. The Wizards also don't have to travel, which is key on the end of a back to back. I'll take a shot with the Wizards and the free points.
