Los Angeles Clippers
Season Stats
On the year, Los Angeles is scoring 107.4 points per contest, which puts the team in dead last 30th.
In case you were thinking that was primarily thanks to their 25th ranked pace, think again. The Clippers score 106.5 points per 100 possessions, a number that does not take pace into account and, also, ranks 27th—a tie with the shamelessly tanking Houston Rockets.
Defense is where this team’s bread is buttered. That’s probably true whether Kawhi Leonard and Paul George are in the lineup or not.
This groups allows 109.3 points per night, putting them in 5th on the season. Looking at Defensive Efficiency, Los Angeles gives up 107.9 points per 100 possessions—a number that also ranks 5th (and also does not take pace into account).
Injury Report
As of this writing, the Clippers list Terrance Mann as Questionable.
Both Reggie Jackson and Norman Powell are OUT.
Washington Wizards
Season Stats
On the season, Washington scores 111 points per night—a number that ranks 21st.
Looking at the advanced stats, they’re scoring 109.2 points per 100 possessions, which also puts them in 19th.
Defensively, Washington is giving up 112.6 points per night. That number ranks No. 14th in the NBA.
Looking at Defensive Efficiency, the Wizards give up 110.1 points per 100 possessions, putting them in No. 20 across the Association.

Free Los Angeles Clippers vs. Washington Wizards NBA Prediction:
John Wall is set to make his first start this season on Saturday against Washington. It wasn’t an emotional move to put Wall in the spotlight against the team that drafted him. It also wasn’t a strategic move.
The Clippers are still hampered by injuries. With Reggie Jackson out on Saturday, the Wall move is by default and part of the ongoing injury theme the Clips continue to deal with.
All that said, Kawhi and PG are in the lineup, LA is the far superior team when even relatively healthy, and a 4-point spread could look conservative even in a low-scoring contest.
Give this one to the road Clippers both SU and ATS.
