Los Angeles Clippers vs Washington Wizards prediction

I don’t want to lay double-digit chalk as much as the next guy, especially on the road, but the Clippers continue to win games and cover numbers and often look like the best team in the league. You’re never sure what you’re getting with the Washington Wizards from night to night, and the defense is still awful. Also, wins over the Pistons and Spurs don’t move the needle much. Thick line, but it’s Clippers or pass for me. I don’t get involved with the Wizards much.
