Let\u2019s get to the preview.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">When: Friday, Jan. 16 at 10 p.m. ET<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Where: Intuit Dome, Inglewood, CA<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">How to watch: Monumental Sports Network<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Injuries: For the Wizards, Cam Whitmore (shoulder) and Trae Young (quadriceps) are out.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">For the Kings, Domantas Sabonis (knee) and Keegan Murray (ankle) are out.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">The Wizards are continuing their long western conference road trip where we have to stay up late at night. Remember right during the new years when Washington seemed to be turning things around? Now, they\u2019re back on a four game losing streak. Of the teams on this road trip, the Kings appear to be the \u2026 \u201ceasiest\u201d team to beat because they are just 11-30 so far this season, basically neck-and-neck with the Wizards in the standings.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Now, here\u2019s the thing. Sacramento is heading into tomorrow\u2019s game on a three game winning streak while on a homestand which includes wins against the Houston Rockets, Los Angeles Lakers and New York Knicks. So could Washington be the team to spoil things? We shall see!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Washington Wizards play the Sacramento Kings on Friday night.
