The Washington Wizards will face the Los Angeles Clippers in an NBA 2014 game that will be live streamed online free from the Staples Center in Los Angeles at 10:30 PM ET.
The Wizards have played well away from home, but they haven't won a road game against Los Angeles in six years.
Though they remain without All-Star Chris Paul, the Clippers seek their fourth straight victory Wednesday night, while the Wizards will try to move above .500 for the first time in more than four years.
Los Angeles (32-15) split its first four games while Staples was being occupied by the Grammy Awards before bouncing back with three straight wins to close out the two-week trip with a franchise-best 5-2 record.
Blake Griffin and Jamal Crawford continued their strong play with Paul out of the lineup, helping the Pacific Division-leading Clippers roll past Milwaukee 114-86 on Monday following wins at Chicago and Toronto over the weekend.
"When we were flying, flying (to Milwaukee), I remember guys saying they can't wait to get home, stuff like that," the All-Star Griffin said. "But we knew we still had a game to play, some business to take care of."
Crawford finished with 25 points and hit 5 of 9 from 3-point range off the bench in Monday's win, while Griffin scored 20 points on 8-of-13 shooting.
Crawford has averaged 22.3 points and a 42.9 3-point percentage to help the Clippers win nine of 12 since Paul separated his shoulder. Griffin has scored 26.4 per game while shooting 57.1 percent from the floor in his last 10.
"(Blake) just does it," said coach Doc Rivers, whose club has the Western Conference's second-best home record at 18-3. "He has been our go-to guy down the stretch."
Paul had 38 points on 11-of-14 shooting with five 3-pointers and 12 assists to get the best of his matchup with John Wall in a 113-97 victory at Washington on Dec. 14..
"I knew in the second half I had to step up for this team to be able to win," Wall said.
The Wizards (22-22) have won two of the first three on their four-game trip and nine of 12 on the road overall. The now get their seventh opportunity this season to go over the .500 mark for the first time since starting 2-1 in 2009-10.
Washington, however, will have to snap a five-game losing streak to the Clippers at Staples Center. The Wizards have dropped eight of their last nine road matchups, with the lone win coming on Feb. 13, 2008.
The Clippers have taken 11 of 14 against Eastern Conference teams, and nine of 10 meetings overall with the Wizards.
The game will be broadcast on FSW2 and live streamed on nbaliveonline.tv/streaming/
