Kings at Wizards Picks and Predictions
Prediction
Kings 127, Wizards 114
Money line
PASS.
There is no value on the Kings (-700), who are 7-3 in their last 10 games, to beat the Wizards (+500), who are 2-8 in their Last 10 and 4-28 at home this season.
Against the spread
KINGS BET -11.5 (-110).
Sacramento has covered the spread in 3 of their last 5 games and is 3-0 ATS in each of their last 3 road games. Washington is just 2-8 ATS in their last 10 games, including 1-3 ATS in their last 4 home games and 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games as a underdog by 9 points or more.
More less
BET OVER 236.5 (-110).
The Kings have scored at least 120 points in 4 of their last 5 games and 7 of their last 10 games overall. They have a Wizards team that has struggled defensively, giving up 127 or more in each of their last 4 games. The Wizards have reached the Over in 7 of their last 10 games, largely due to their poor defense, which will be a factor on Thursday.
