What to Know

The Wizards have quite the challenge ahead of them as they're expected to be blown off the court. They will head out on the road to take on the Los Angeles Clippers at 10:30 p.m. ET on Friday at Crypto.com Arena. The Wizards have now lost 13 straight, and the team is hunting for their first win since January 29.

The Wizards fought the good fight in their overtime matchup against the Lakers on Thursday but wound up with a less-than-desirable result. They fell just short of the Lakers by a score of 134-131. The oddsmakers set the bar high with a 244.5-point over/under, but they still managed to beat it.

The loss doesn't tell the whole story though, as several players had good games. One of the most active was Jordan Poole, who scored 34 points along with seven assists. As a matter of fact, that's the most points he has scored all season.

Meanwhile, the point spread may have favored the Clippers last Wednesday, but the final result did not. They fell to the Lakers 116-112. The Clippers were up 21 with 11:45 left in the fourth but still couldn't manage to seal the deal.

Like the Wizards, the Clippers lost despite seeing results from several players. Kawhi Leonard led the charge by scoring 26 points along with seven rebounds and six assists.

Washington has not been sharp recently as the team's lost 19 of their last 21 matchups, which put a noticeable dent in their 9-50 record this season. As for the Clippers, they dropped their record down to 37-20 with that defeat, which was their third straight at home.

This contest is one where the number of possessions is likely to be a big factor: The Wizards haven't given up the ball easily this season, having only averaged 13.6 turnovers per game. However, it's not like the Clippers struggle in that department as they've been averaging only 12.3 turnovers per game. Given these competing strengths, it'll be interesting to see how their clash plays out.

The Wizards lost to the Clippers on the road by a decisive 125-109 margin in their previous meeting back in January. Can the Wizards avenge their defeat or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
