Los Angeles Clippers are second in the Pacific Division of the Western Conference with a 14-5 season record. They host the Washington Wizards who only have one team below them in the Southeast division of the Eastern Conference. The Clippers are battling to get a place in the postseason and are third overall in the Western Conference. The Clippers are in fine form having won seven straight games before a loss to San Antonio Spurs 10 of their 14 home games were won in November, so they will look to continue that good run in December.

The Wizards won't be winning the Southeast Division as Miami Heat are well clear. So, the rest of the season is going to be spent trying to get into postseason and they are currently tenth in the Eastern Conference, a couple of places behind the final qualifying position. They are 6-11 for the season and have lost three of their last four matches. November wasn't great on the road with only two wins from seven games. The tip here is for the Clippers to get the win, back them on -8.5 points.
