Washington Wizards vs Sacramento Kings Prediction

The Sacramento Kings are as healthy as they've been in a while, and they're at home with the rest advantage. The Wizards also remain possibly the worst team in the league, and they're on the end of a back-to-back. However, this line is nuts for a Kings team that's underachieved for much of the season and is 15-24-2 ATS on the year. 16 points?! Can the Kings simply cover a few numbers first? Also, while the Wizards aren't good and are prone to blowout losses, they have covered three straight games, all of which happened to be double-digit spreads. Like yesterday, give me the boatload of points with the Wizards.
