The Clippers are coming into this game as a 4.5 point underdog with the current betting odds according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Clippers have not been playing great recently but they have been winning some games while missing some key players from their lineup. They will have a lot of their starters healthier for this game though and they are going up against a Wizards team that has not been playing well recently. The Wizards have lost 4 of their last 5 games and they have really been slipping down the standings with their poor play. The Clippers should play much better with some of their players coming back for this game and they have a chance to beat up on a Wizards team that has been struggling to win games. The best bet to place in this game is on the Clippers to cover the spread here as they have a really good chance of winning this game straight up.

"We know he can score the basketball, but he had 28 points and 28 points was all on going left. We talked coming into the game that we got to keep him off his left hand. He's too good going to his left and he got there time and time again." - Tyronn Lue after his team’s loss against the Knicks on Sunday night.
