This is a 10* ASSASSIN on the Washington Wizards.
For a number of different reasons, I think the home side will find a way to get the job done, and while I obviously think the outright win isn't out of the question, I will in the end recommend grabbing as many points as you can. Both teams come into this contest red hot, I simply feel that LA is going to finally have a letdown here after winning nine straight though. The Wizards will be looking to post their best home start in franchise history and move to 11-2 in the nation's capital. Washington is coming off a couple of close contests, a 133-132 double OT victory over Boston before a 91-89 effort in Orlando on Wednesday. Note that the Wizards would commit a season-low ten turnovers and had 26 assists in that one; there's no question that Washington is playing at an extremely high level right now: "When we play that way, it makes it hard for the other team," Wizards coach Randy Wittman assessed afterwards. "If we're getting 10 or 12 assists, we're going to get beat every time. We move bodies, we move the ball and we don't worry about who's getting shots. Normally we have guys on the floor who can score." One big reason why the Clippers have been playing so well has been because of point guard Chris Paul, but his play will be negated here by the Wizards' John Wall. This is area is a wash. And without their "energizer bunny" leading the charge, I think the rest of LA will suffer tonight. And as good as the Clippers are offensively, note that the Wizards rank eighth in the league in allowing just 92.2 per contest. And to say this is a "revenge" game for the home side would be a bit of an understatement I think, including dropping both contests last year, the Wizards have in fact lost 10 of the last 11 in the series. And from a trend based stand point, they don't get much stronger than this, note that LA is 3-6 ATS this season vs. good offensive teams which average 99 plus points per contest, while Washington is 3-1 following a divisional contest this year, 2-1 ATS in non-conference games and 3-2 ATS vs. clubs with winning records. I think the home side comes to play today and when taking into account all of the above factors, all signs do indeed point to the WIZARDS as the sharp wager in this one.
