Kings at Wizards picks and predictions
Prediction
Kings 127, Wizards 114
Moneyline
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
BET KINGS -11.5 (-110).
Sacramento has covered the spread in 3 of its last 5 and is 3-0 against the spread (ATS) in each of its last 3 road games. Washington is just 2-8 ATS in its last 10 including 1-3 ATS in its last 4 home games and 0-4 ATS in its last 4 games as a 9-point or more underdog.
Over/Under
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 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 hit the Over in 7 of their last 10 games largely on account of their poor defense which will be a factor on Thursday.
