Wizards vs Kings Prediction
The Wizards are in a free fall with the season winding down, as they’re 2-8 SU and ATS in their last 10 games. The Wizards also have a lengthy injury report, which doesn’t help. However, that doesn’t mean we make the Kings an insane favorite.
The Kings have dropped to the 10th seed and are 30-42-3 ATS on the season. The Wizards are waiting for the season to end and don’t play a lick of defense, but it’s not like the Kings are playing with this sense of urgency either. There are better bets on Wednesday’s NBA card, but I’d grab the points with the Wizards if forced to pick.
