ASA NBA Situational Slam
(NBA) Washington vs. LA Clippers, 02/23/2021 10:00 PM, Score: 116 - 135
Point Spread: -12.00 | -105.00 LA Clippers (Home)
Result: Win
ASA play on 8* LA Clippers -12 over Washington Wizards, 10 PM ET - We loved our winning play on the Wiz last night plus the points over the Lakers, but given the circumstances will play against them here. This line opened with the Clippers as a 10-point favorite and has been bet to minus 12 as of this writing. That’s interesting considering more money and tickets have been bet on the red hot Wizards. In contrarian fashion, we like the Clippers who are off a home loss and getting healthy. We are betting the Wizards don’t play Westbrook tonight who has sat the second nights of back-to-backs for load management and Washington doesn’t have the depth to overcome that loss. The Clippers key advantages are: the 5th highest scoring team in the NBA versus a Wiz defense that is 29th in the league in points allowed. L.A. is 3rd in overall field goal percentage, 1st in 3-point shooting offensively. Washington is one of the worst 3-point shooting teams in the NBA at 34%. The Clippers are 9-1 SU, 7-3 ATS off a loss this year and will be focused here. Washington got a huge OT win last night against the Lakers and expended a ton of energy to get that W. Beal played 44+ minutes and won’t be able to carry the load on consecutive nights. Bet the Clippers.
