Wizards at Clippers: Odds, lines, predictions and picks
Prediction
Clippers 119, Wizards 114
Money line (ML)
The Clippers (-550) will cost you five-and-a-half times your potential return, and that’s risky business betting against a Wizards (+400) team on a five-game win streak, including at Portland and against the Los Angeles Lakers in the first two games of their road trip. They topped the Lakers 127-124 in overtime Monday night in a thriller in this very same venue. AVOID.

Against the spread (ATS)
The WIZARDS +10.5 (-110) are a great play, as they are 5-0 SU/ATS across the past five, including straight-up wins as underdogs in four of those outings. I don’t think they’re going to add the Clippers to their list of victims, but Washington should be able to keep the losing margin within single digits. L.A. is 1-2 SU/ATS, and they shouldn’t be laying this kind of number to anyone right now, as they’re not nearly the same kind of team with PG13 out.
Over/Under (O/U)
The UNDER 235.5 (-110) is the lean in this one, although it isn’t a very strong feeling. Only make a small-unit play on this total. The Under is 7-4 in the past 11 for Washington, while the Under is 2-0-1 in the past three for the Clips, all on their home floor.
