Los Angeles at Washington

I'm not sure if it is in either team’s best interest to win this game as they are likely to be doing battle for the NBA's top draft pick. I just find it impossible to back a team that has the least wins in the NBA, has lost five straight by 10 points or more, and a combined 16.2 points per game. What makes it even more difficult is when you consider that even when they have won on the season, their last 18 games has seen them win by seven points just once, and the other 17 games show that giving five to anyone would have all resulted in losses ATS. The Clippers are at least 3-4 on the road in their last seven against teams with losing records, and two of the four losses have come by two points and OT. The Wizards are not meant to be a favorite against anyone as their 2-8 ATS mark attests to. This is an ugly game between two ugly teams, but the Clippers are worthy here.
