5*
(NBA) LA Clippers vs. Washington,
Point Spread: -4.50 | -107.00 LA Clippers (Away)
Result: Win
I am backing the Los Angeles Clippers to get a road win and cover as they close out their 7 game road swing in D.C.against the Wizards. Doc Rivers has had an emotional couple of days, as his new team has made stops in Boston and Brooklyn. Now after a day off the Clippers look to make this a winning road swing, as they are 3-3 straight up and against the spread on this trek, and they do have the benefit of a night's rest on Friday on their side. Washington was on court last night in Atlanta and went OT, and the Wizards are just 1-8 straight up the last 9 series meetings, with a 3-5-1 against the spread mark in the last 9 showdowns. Chris Paul is off his worst game of the season and I expect a big bounce back for him tonight! Take L.A. as the road chalk.
