Los Angeles at Washington

The LA Clippers are tough to play, second in the NBA in scoring, and on a nine-game win streak. The Clippers are 5-1 ATS against the Eastern Conference. After some early season defensive struggles, the Clippers are on a roll at #12 in the NBA in field goal shooting defense and #7 at defending the three-pointer. LA is 10-4 UNDER the total on one day of rest, plus 9-3 UNDER against the Eastern Conference. Washington is also playing defense, at #8 in the NBA in points allowed and #4 in field goal shooting defense allowing 43% shooting, and are on a 3-1-1 run UNDER the total. The Wizards have lost 10 of their last 11 matchups with the Clippers, including both last season. Blake Griffin scored 29 points and DeAndre Jordan grabbed 17 rebounds in Los Angeles' most recent victory over Washington. Chris Paul did not play in that game but owns a 54.9 shooting percentage against the Wizards, his best mark against any team. The value is for a defensive game and the LA Clippers to win the contest. Take the LA Clippers on the moneyline and take the UNDER.
