The Sacramento Kings and the Washington Wizards collide at the Capital One Arena on Wednesday night. Here’s a Sacramento Kings vs Washington Wizards Prediction. This article will include a Sacramento Kings vs Washington Wizards Pick.

Sacramento Kings Betting Preview

The Sacramento Kings have been in a major slump as they've lost six of their last seven games overall. They will be hoping to avoid a third-straight defeat after falling painfully short to the Pacers in an 111-109 road defeat on Monday. DeMar DeRozan led the team with 31 points and eight assists on 12 of 24 shooting, Domantas Sabonis tallied 25 points with 16 rebounds, while Zach LaVine chipped in with 20 points. As a team, the Kings shot 46 percent from the field and 12 of 27 from the 3-point line as they jumped all over the Pacers from the start. They looked to be in complete control when they led by 16 points in the third quarter. But they never put the Pacers away, and it cost them as they allowed the Pacers to go on a pivotal 10-0 run late in the fourth quarter to fall painfully short in a game they should've won comfortably. 

Washington Wizards Betting Preview

Meanwhile, the Washington Wizards have been in a slump of their own, as they've lost eight of their last nine games overall. They will be eager to snap a three-game skid after getting scorched by the Heat in a 120-94 loss on Monday. Jordan Poole drained seven 3-pointers to lead the team with 35 points, while Tristan Vukcevic chipped in with 14 points, but no other player scored more than eight points. As a team, the Heat shot just 39 percent from the field and 13 of 43 from the 3-point line as they got off to a terrible start and were always fighting a losing battle after falling into an early double-digit deficit. Alex Sarr had a night to forget as he shot just three of 17 from the field to finish with just eight points while battling foul trouble. 

Why the Washington Wizards will win

  • The Kings have lost four of their last five games as favorites against Eastern Conference opponents.
  • The Wizards have won four of their last five home games against the Kings following a home loss.
  • The Kings have failed to cover the spread in 17 of their last 21 games against opponents who are on the first leg of a back-to-back.
  • The Wizards have covered the spread in three of their last four home games against the Kings following a home loss.

Why the Sacramento Kings will win

  • The Kings have won each of their last 10 games as road favorites against Eastern Conference opponents following a loss.
  • The Wizards have failed to cover the spread in each of their last seven home games.
  • The Kings have covered the spread in each of their last six games as road favorites against Eastern Conference opponents following a loss.

  • Nine of the Wizards' last 10 home games against Western Conference opponents have gone OVER the total points line.
  • Each of the Kings' last five games against the Wizards following a road loss have gone UNDER the total points line.

Sacramento Kings vs Washington Wizards Prediction

The Kings are still shorthanded with Devin Carter and Jake LaRavia still out, while the Wizards have ruled out Marcus Smart, Khirs Middleton, and Kyshawn George once again. You really couldn't back either side with any confidence these days, but these teams last met on Jan. 19, and it was the Kings who romped to a 123-100 win. The Kings aren't playing well enough to take down the elite teams in the league, but they have more than enough firepower to run past the struggling teams, and I think we'll see that in this matchup.
