Preview

Los Angeles Clippers will meet Washington Wizards on Wednesday in Los Angeles, this will be the second encounter between them as the first game ended in a 116-115 Clippers win on the road.

Washington Wizards are coming off a win against the Pacers at home 133-123 which puts them in 11th place behind the Hawks for the Play in tournment and will seek to get another win to get to the play in tournment in a revenge game for them after they lost in home to the Clippers by a point recently. a lot of Washington's games have been going Over with a lot of scoring as they are 5-1 to the Over in last 6 games as they are playing to Outscore their opponent now with a little to no defence. 

Los Angeles Clippers are playing on a back to back after losing to the Warriors 112-97 yesterday on the road which puts them on 2 game losing streak after their 5 games winning streak so they will try to get back to winning ways here. Clippers are currently in 8th place for the play in tournment and doesn't seem like they are in any danger to losing this place to the Lakers who are playing so bad right now. The Clippers games at home have been going over lately as they are 6-1 to the over in last 7 home games and i like it to continue going over here vs Wizards team that doesn't play a lot of defence.

Washington Wizards are 4-1-1 ATS last 6 games this season, they are also 6-13 straight up last 19 games. the total has gone over in 5 of last 6 games for the Wizards. Wizards are 2-8 ATS last 10 games vs the Clippers and are 0-8 ATS last games with teams from the Western Conference, they are also 0-5 ATS last 5 games when playing an opponent from the Pacific Division.

Los Angeles are 7-3 ATS last 10 games this season and are 5-2 straight up last 7 games. the total has gone under in 5 of last 6 games for the Clippers but it went Over in 6 of last 7 home games and the Over is also 8-0 in last 8 games when the Clippers play the Wizards at home. LA Clippers are 5-0 ATS last 5 games vs an opponent from the Southeast Division.

Head to Head

Los Angeles Clippers have dominated this matchup in recent years with 7 wins in last 10 games and they have an even more Imressive ATS record against the Wizards with 8-2 Covers in the last 10 games, the O/U is also 8-2 to the Over in last 10 games with the Wizards averaging 115.9 points and the Clippers averaging 124.4 points a game. I like this game to continue the trend and go Over the total.

Prediction

This is a revenge game for Washington Wizards but it i don't think it is a good idea to back them to win or cover 2 games in a row and on the other hand, the Clippers aren't playing their best with 2 losses in the last 2 games after they had 5 game winning streak. Washington Wizards games have been going in on direction in last few games and it is Over the total with a lot of high scoring games. Washington Wizards have gone Over this 218.5 total in 9 of last 11 games this season, also the games between both of them have gone Over in 8 of last 10 games So give me the Over here.

Pick: Total Over 218.5 points (-110)
