Prediction
Clippers 126, Wizards 114
Moneyline (ML)
The Clippers (-358) are too risky of a play on the road while having to lay a little more than 3½ times the return. It’s just not worth it. The Wizards (+275) are a better value, but they’re not going to take down the Clips.
New to sports betting? Every $3.58 wagered on a Clippers win would profit $1 if they prevail.
Line/Against the Spread (ATS)
The CLIPPERS (–8.5, +100) are a dismal 1-7 ATS in their past eight games on the road, but they’re 8-2 ATS in the past 10 following a straight-up loss. They’re too good to fall into a slide, and they’ll get it done over the Wizards (+8.5, -12), who are mostly a one-man show.
Over/Under (O/U)
OVER (236.5, -106) is the play in this one, cashing in seven of the past eight in this series. The Over is also a perfect 8-0 in L.A.’s past eight against a team with a losing record, while going 6-2 in their past eight as a road favorite. The Over is 6-0 in Washington’s past six against winning teams, and 9-4 in the past 13 at home.
