Kings at Wizards picks and predictionsPrediction
Wizards 113, Kings 108
BET WIZARDS (+115).
The Kings have no business being a favorite in this game. They have lost by double figures in 3 of their last 4 games and just aren’t playing competitive basketball. Sacramento will be on the road for its sixth straight game as well.
Washington has won 2 of its last 3 games and has scored at least 109 points in 4 straight contests. The Wizards have played better defensively as well, allowing more than 111 points in just 2 of their last 6 games.
Take the WIZARDS (+115) to come out on top.
PASS.
Given the predicted outcome, the preferred route here is the moneyline. With the marginal spread, that is the better option in this game.
BET UNDER 228.5 (-105).
Neither side really has elite scoring upside that will be taking the court. Westbrook and Monk are both questionable, and they are a few key weapons that push the pace. Similarly, Young, having remained sidelined, hurts Washington’s potential.
The Wizards are 2-4 O/U in their last 6 games, while the Kings have gone south of the total in 3 straight contests. Considering those trends, back UNDER 228.5 (-105).
