Washington Wizards vs Sacramento Kings Prediction
I’m not excited to lay this number with the Kings, a bad team that’s also just 17-23-1 ATS on the season. However, the Kings are having their best week of the season with 3 straight wins, and they’re expected to get Sabonis back. The Wizards are awful themselves, and they’re extremely banged up. The Wizards have 16 losses on the road, and they’re 15-24 ATS on the season. The Kings should roll in this game, but I’m not looking to lay this number personally.
