After struggling at the beginning of the year Los Angeles has turned it around since they acquired guard James Harden.

The Clippers have a ton of star power, including two former NBA MVP's and numerous All-Star selections.

Washington has been player better since Brian Keefe took over the interim head coaching spot and will look to win their third straight game for the first time since January 30th, 2023.

Gage Sheets: Clippers 125 Wizards 107

Washington will have a tough time keeping this game close.

There is just too much firepower for the Los Angeles offensively and they have four guys who could easily take over a game.

The Wizards defense has been much better under Keefe but there is a large talent gap between some of the teams they have faced since he has taken over and what the Clippers present.

If Washington is going to win this game, they're going to need excellent performances from almost everyone and Los Angeles to have a tough shooting night.

It isn't impossible but it is very improbable, take the Clippers and the -12.5-point spread.
