Washington Wizards @ Los Angeles Clippers Preview

The Los Angeles Clippers (24-19) enter this game as heavy favorites against the Washington Wizards (6-36). The Clippers are coming off a tough overtime loss to the Boston Celtics, while the Wizards are on an 11-game losing streak, including a recent 111-88 defeat to the Los Angeles Lakers. The Clippers boast a strong home record of 15-7 and are ranked third in the league defensively, allowing just 106.9 points per game. In contrast, the Wizards have struggled mightily on the road, holding a dismal 1-18 record and allowing a league-worst 122.5 points per game.

Key injuries for the Clippers include Kawhi Leonard, Ivica Zubac, and PJ Tucker, who are out, while Norman Powell and James Harden remain pivotal contributors. For the Wizards, Saddiq Bey is out, and Malcolm Brogdon and Marvin Bagley III are day-to-day.

Pick: Los Angeles Clippers -13.5 (Spread)

The Clippers are the clear favorites in this matchup, and for good reason. The Wizards have been abysmal on the road, losing by an average of 16.3 points per game. Meanwhile, the Clippers have been solid at home and are 5-2 against the spread in their last seven games. Despite playing on the second leg of a back-to-back, the Clippers' defensive prowess and the Wizards' offensive struggles make the -13.5 spread a reasonable pick. Expect the Clippers to control the game and secure a comfortable victory.

Top Player Prop Picks

1. Norman Powell Over 23.5 Points

Norman Powell has been the Clippers' leading scorer, averaging 23.7 points per game. With key players like Kawhi Leonard and Ivica Zubac out, Powell is expected to take on an even larger offensive role. The Wizards' poor defense, allowing 122.5 points per game, further supports this pick.

2. James Harden Over 8.5 Assists

Harden is averaging 8.1 assists per game this season and will likely exploit the Wizards' defensive weaknesses. With the Clippers' offense running through him, he should have ample opportunities to rack up assists against a struggling Wizards team.

3. Jordan Poole Over 21.5 Points

Despite the Wizards' struggles, Jordan Poole has been a consistent scorer, averaging 21.4 points per game. He will likely be the focal point of Washington's offense, especially with Saddiq Bey out and limited scoring options available.
