Exactly 24 hours after the Washington Wizards' big comeback against the Los Angeles Lakers in the fourth quarter, Danny Abdia and his team will play again at Staples Center, but this time against the Clippers.
Washington improved their balance to 17:11 and tomorrow morning (Wednesday, 05:00 Israel time) they will meet for the first time this season the second best team in the West, which holds a balance of 10:22.
The main story in the game will be the match-up between two of the best players in the league - Kwai Leonard, the eighth best scorer in the NBA this season with 26.9 points per game, against Bradley Bill, who leads the league with an average of 32.9 points.
On the defensive exchange against LeBron in the final quarter: “I stick to the scouting report.
Like I said, I'm not afraid of anyone.
Takes the challenge and looks like an equal on the player I keep.
He probably had a hard life, so that's good "pic.twitter.com/PevlaPst4i

After managing to stop LeBron James in some excellent defensive moves in the final quarter against the Lakers, Abdia will try to help his team tonight in defensive handling in Kwai, and it will probably not be easy with the other side standing twice selected as the final series MVP.
The Wizards will try to extend their winning streak that now stands at five - the longest streak in the league after the Brooklyn Nets, who have won their last six games.
Washington's away game balance is 8: 6, and the Clippers' home balance is 6:11.
Tyrone Lou's team comes after a 112-108 loss to the Brooklyn Nets at home, despite 34 points from Paul George and 29 from Leonard.
The Clippers have lost twice in a row this season just once, and they don’t want that to happen again.
