Los Angeles Clippers vs Washington Wizards
PREVIEW: The Los Angeles Clippers will attempt to extend a three-game winning streak when they take on the Washington Wizards. The Clippers have been on fire, winning 10 of their last 12 games overall , while the Wizards have gone cold, losing four of their last five games. The matchup takes place Wednesday, January 14, 2026 at 10:30 p.m. ET at Intuit Dome in Inglewood, California.
The Clippers have won each of their last 17 home games against the Wizards, while Washington has lost each of their last 12 road games against Pacific Division opponents. The Clippers are heavy, 11.5-point favorites in this Western Conference showdown. Unfortunately, shot quality data is not available for either team heading into this contest, making it difficult to assess their offensive efficiency trends. The Clippers are currently one of the hottest teams in the league despite their injuries, though Kawhi Leonard is listed as questionable. The Wizards are still missing Cam Whitmore and newly acquired Trae Young, and have struggled since trading away CJ McCollum , setting up a compelling clash between momentum and desperation.
