Washington Wizards vs Sacramento Kings Prediction

You can make a case for either the Wizards or Kings, and it’s going to come down to motivation at this point, with both clubs being 1-2 through three games. With that said, I’ll lay the bucket with the Kings because they are the more talented team on paper. The Kings have been competitive in all three games and could easily be sitting with an undefeated record. The Kings have also been great offensively and have the ability to run most teams out of the gym when shots are falling. The Washington Wizards are getting after it defensively, but they can’t score. Give me the Kings.
