The Line: Betting Odds: Washington Wizards +10.5 — Over/Under:
The Washington Wizards play host to the Los Angeles Clippers at the Capital One Arena on Wednesday night. Here’s a LA Clippers vs Washington Wizards Prediction. This article will include an LA Clippers vs Washington Wizards Pick.
Los Angeles ClippersÂ
The Los Angeles Clippers have been in great form as they were on a five-game win streak before they got stopped in their tracks by the Celtics in a 126-94 road defeat on Monday. Ivica Zubac led the team in scoring with 23 points and 10 rebounds, James Harden added 19 points with eight rebounds and nine assists while Derrick Jones Jr chipped in with 11 points on four of six shooting. As a team, the Clippers shot 43 percent from the field and seven of 26 from the 3-point line, but they were never in the contest after allowing a season-high 51 points in the second quarter. The Clippers will meet the Timberwolves after this game.
Washington WizardsÂ
Meanwhile, the Washington Wizards have been ice-cold as they’ve lost 14 of their first 16 games and they will be hoping to avoid a 13th straight defeat after getting trampled by the Bulls in a 127-108 loss last night. Kyle Kuzma led the team with 23 points, seven rebounds, and three assists, Alexandre Sarr added 20 points on seven of 11 shooting while Malcolm Brogdon chipped in with 15 points, six rebounds, and four assists. As a team, the Wizards shot just 42 percent from the field and 10 of 37 from the 3-point line, but they were terrible on the defensive end and just never gave themselves a chance after getting dominated by 40-18 in the second quarter.Â
Why the Los Angeles Clippers will win

- The Clippers have covered the spread in each of their last six games against Wizards teams that held a losing record.
- The Wizards have failed to cover the spread in seven of their last eight games on the second leg of a back-to-back.
Total Points Facts

- Five of the Wizards’ last six night games on the second leg of a back-to-back have gone OVER the total points line.
LA Clippers vs Washington Wizards Prediction
The Clippers are shorthanded again with Kobe Brown, Norman Powell, and Mo Bamba all listed as questionable, while the Wizards are missing Jordan Poole and Saddiq Bey once again. The Clippers have quietly been one of the form teams in the league and they were riding a five-game win streak before losing to the red-hot Celtics on Monday. In contrast, the Wizards have continued their nightmare season with another big loss after getting blown out by the Bulls last night. The line was always going to be high for this one, but the Wizards are playing their second game of a back-to-back set which spells doom against a Clippers squad looking to rebound from a rare loss.
