Smart Game Analysis
Los Angeles Clippers has a 78% chance of winning the game
The surging Clippers, winners of 10 in their last 12, should comfortably handle a struggling Wizards squad that is missing star playmaker Trae Young.
Key Analysis
- • Washington is without franchise point guard Trae Young (quadriceps) and wing Cam Whitmore (shoulder), stripping their offense of its primary creators.
- • The Clippers are on a hot streak, winning 10 of their last 12 games to recover from a poor start, while the Wizards have lost 3 straight.
- • James Harden (25.8 PPG) faces a Wizards defense that ranks 29th in the NBA, allowing 124.0 points per game.
- • Los Angeles has dominated this matchup historically, going 9-1 straight up and against the spread in the last 10 meetings.
- • Washington's defense is porous, allowing opponents to shoot 47.2% from the field and conceding the second-most points in the league.
- • To have a chance, the Wizards need a massive scoring outburst from rookie Tre Johnson and center Alex Sarr to offset the lack of veteran playmaking.
