NBA Late Night Matchups Betting Odds: Washington vs Los Angeles

The Washington Wizards are becoming road warriors. Washington earned its second consecutive road win after starting 0-9, smashing Portland 124-109 on Tuesday. Nick Young led the Wizards with a season-high 35 points, going 7 of 8 on 3-pointers.

The Wizards go for a three-game road winning streak as they take on the Los Angeles Clippers on Wednesday night. The Clippers return home after going 4-2 on a six-game trip they felt they could have swept. “We could have won this whole trip out,” Chris Paul said.

The Clippers have opened as 13.5-point favorites on SBG Global Sportsbook’s Live NBA Basketball Odds.

Washington Wizards (7-22): Young helped the Wizards record a season high in points. “It just felt good getting those 3s knocked down.” Young said. “We were all jelling off each other. I feel like we are turning into a good team.” JaVale McGee had his 10th double-double of the season with 18 points and 11 rebounds for Washington. The Wizards are 5-7 under coach Randy Wittman, who replaced Flip Saunders after an awful 2-15 start. They also have won three of their last five games.

Los Angeles Clippers (17-9): Caron Butler said he was caught up in the pregame ceremony when he received his 2011 championship ring from Dallas before Monday’s game. “I was very emotional. I didn't think I was going to be as emotional. … It was a great feeling. I almost cried. I had to put my head down a couple of times to try to gather myself."
