Washington Wizards vs. Sacramento Kings Prediction

The Wizards, who are mired in a 2-14 stretch, might be shorthanded again and are playing the second half of a back-to-back. They're going to be tasked with slowing down the highest-scoring offense in the NBA under those circumstances.

The Kings have won three of four and have established themselves as legitimate playoff contenders in the Western Conference this season. They love lighting the beam on home nights, as they've gone 9-5 in Golden 1 Center to start the season. Meanwhile, the Wizards are 4-14 on the road. This game is Sacramento's to lose.

Prediction: Sacramento Kings -8.5 (-115)
