LA Clippers vs. Washington Wizards Prediction: Injury Report, Starting 5s, Betting Odds, and Spreads - December 10 | 2022/23 NBA Regular Season
The Los Angeles Clippers head towards the East Coast, to our nation's capital, to take on the Washington Wizards. Paul George has taken over for the Clippers and they are playing at an extremely high level.
The Clippers would benefit from Kawhi Leonard's re-emergence, but Leonard remains day-to-day. The Clippers' medical staff has shown patience with Kawhi Leonard, so expect them to ensure he is fully healthy before he returns.
The Washington Wizards are missing their superstar, Bradley Beal. The Wizards don't have another superstar to lean on, so they have an uphill battle on Friday night.

Los Angeles Clippers vs. Washington Wizards Injury Report
The Washington Wizards will struggle to put together a lineup on Saturday night, given the number of injuries they have sustained.
Superstar Bradley Beal is dealing with a hamstring injury. Expect the team to be cautious with their best player. Washington has scheduled Beal for an evaluation in a week.
SG Delon Wright is dealing with a hamstring injury as well. Wright remains without a timeline for a return.
Washington big man Rui Hachimura is dealing with an ankle injury and may miss Saturday's action.
Devon Dotson is out with an undisclosed injury.
Kristaps Porzingis has a sprained ankle, and his status is questionable. Without Bradley Beal, the Wizards would receive a boost if Porzingis can go.
SF Will Barton is day-to-day with an undisclosed injury.
For the Clippers, Norman Powell is still dealing with a groin injury and is out.
The Clippers could be down on significant firepower as Terance Mann and Kawhi Leonard are day-to-day.

Los Angeles Clippers vs. Washington Wizards Betting Prediction
The Los Angeles Clippers are beginning to gel as a team, and you can see it play out on the court.
Once they get Kawhi Leonard back, the Clippers will have to be reckoned with in the Western Conference.
The Washington Wizards aren't the same team without Bradley Beal and so, we think the Clippers will pull away in this one.
Prediction: Los Angeles Clippers defeat the Wizards with ease.
