Kings vs Wizards prediction

I’m not thrilled to lay double-digit chalk with the Sacramento Kings, especially on the road, but I have no choice here. The Washington Wizards have thrown in the towel on the season and are providing no betting value at the moment. The Wizards have lost 8 of their last 10 games, and they’ve filed to cover 8 of their last 10 games as well. When the Kings and Wizards met back in December, Sacramento scored 143 points on 53 percent shooting. The Wizards are one of those teams that’s counting down the days until the offseason. Massive number, but it’s the Kings or pass for me.
