Washington Wizards vs. Los Angeles Clippers Prediction: Injury Report, Starting 5s, Betting Odds & Spreads - December 17 | 2022-23 NBA Season

The Crypto.com Arena plays host to the clash between the Washington Wizards and the Los Angeles Clippers on Saturday (December 17) in NBA Regular Season action.

The 17-14 Clippers’ hot run of form came to an end last time out, losing to the Phoenix Suns 95-111. Prior to that defeat, they had won three games in a row. It was a heavily rotated lineup in their last game as stars Paul George and Kawhi Leonard didn’t feature. Statistically, the Clippers have the worst offense in basketball, scoring only 107 points per game, which is the lowest tally in the entire NBA.

Ever since Kawhi’s return, the Clippers have looked like a completely different team. They have only lost two of the ten games that Kawhi has started this season, even though his scoring numbers aren’t even close to decent. His impact on the defensive end of the court has bolstered the Clippers massively, enabling them to climb up to eighth place in the Western Conference standings.

The 11-18 Wizards are struck in a rut. They have lost 11 of their last 12 games, their only win coming on the 28th of November. They come into this game on the back of a 128-141 drubbing against the Nuggets, where a 43 point Nikola Jokic performance put them out of their misery.

Wizards vs. Clippers Betting Prediction

The Wizards have been miserable lately. They have lost all of their last eight games and come into this contest with an awful 3-11 record on the road.

The Clippers have won three of their last four and have a very impressive 9-7 record at the Crypto.com Arena.

All facts lead to only one outcome, the Clippers should blow the Wizards out.

Clippers: -6.5 (-110)
