What to Know

After a three-game homestand, the Washington Wizards will be on the road. They will take on the Los Angeles Clippers at 10:30 p.m. ET on Wednesday at Crypto.com Arena after having had a few days off. The Wizards will be strutting in after a win while Los Angeles will be stumbling in from a defeat.

Washington beat the Indiana Pacers 133-123 on Sunday. Washington's success was the result of a balanced attack that saw several players step up, but power forward Kyle Kuzma led the charge as he had 23 points and eight assists along with five boards.

Meanwhile, Los Angeles received a tough blow on Tuesday as they fell 112-97 to the Golden State Warriors. Los Angeles was down 86-61 at the end of the third quarter, which was just too much to recover from. Point guard Reggie Jackson had a pretty forgettable game, playing for 28 minutes but putting up just five points on 2-for-14 shooting.

The Wizards are expected to lose this next one by 3.5. They might be worth taking a chance on against the spread, however, as they are currently on a two-game streak of ATS wins.

Washington is now 29-34 while the Clippers sit at 34-33. Washington is 11-17 after wins this season, and Los Angeles is 18-14 after losses.
