Why the Wizards might cover the spread/win

Los Angeles is coming off a loss against the Boston Celtics on Wednesday night. Now it was a home game, so the Clippers don’t have to travel anywhere on Thursday night. However, some of their players had to play a lot more minutes than they are used to, which could make the difference in this game. The Clippers have now lost four of their last five games, for the second night in a row, and are missing some key players. Washington must use it if it wants to cover the spread.

The The Clippers have some injuries to deal with. Washington must take advantage of it. Kawhi Leonard and James Harden were sidelined for Wednesday night’s loss to the Celtics. Their status for Thursday is still uncertain. However, without them, the Clippers will struggle. Harden is having a great season, but Leonard has only played five games. Still, the Clippers will miss and struggle to win if those two players miss another game.

Why the Clippers could cover the spread/win

Washington is on an 11-game losing streak. They’re one of the worst teams in the NBA, and it’s only getting worse. The Wizards are allowing 124.2 points per game during this losing streak. To make matters worse, the Wizards are scoring just 105.8 points per game in that span. They don’t score the basketball, but they really struggle to defend. Los Angeles should have no problem putting up some points and shutting down the Wizards in this game. With the Clippers’ ability to defend and the Wizards’ inability to defend, Los Angeles has a strong chance of losing.

As bad as Washington was, they were even worse on the road. On the road this season, the Wizards are a whopping 1-18. Their one away win came in their first away game of the season. That means the Wizards have lost 18 games in a row away from Washington. Their defense is consistently poor away from home, but their scoring is a big hit in away games. If the Clippers can take advantage of a bad road team, they will be able to cover the spread.

Final Wizards-Clippers Prediction & Pick

The only thing to watch out for in this game is the injury report. More specifically, James Harden. If Harden goes out, it could be anyone’s game. However, the Clippers are still the better team, even without their best players. With that in mind, the spread is quite large. Still, I expect it to explode. I’ll take the Clippers to cover the spread.

Final Wizards-Clippers Prediction & Pick: Clippers -13.5 (-110)
