The Washington Wizards will have their work cut out for them tonight as they host the Los Angeles Clippers at the Capital One Arena.

The Wizards have lost 20 consecutive games where they have had zero days of rest. For the first time this season, they are playing a team that has had more rest than them coming into the game.

The Clippers last played on Monday when they lost to the defending champion Boston Celtics by 32 points at TD Garden, so they are coming into this game motivated with a chip on their shoulder.

The Clippers would like to use this game as a way to get back into rhythm as they face the Wizards, who hold the league's worst record through the first month of the season.

If the Wizards want to break this streak, they have to lean on their depth and attack quickly in the early parts of the game in order to build a cushion for the second half.
