Betting on the Washington Wizards
- Regular Season Record: 12-21
The Washington Wizards have through some rough weeks, as they registered their first victory of December last Tuesday, which has obviously made them fall in the Eastern Conference standings: they are currently 12th, but two games away from the play-in, so they know they still have time to get back on their feet.
The Wizards’ main drawbacks are linked to their offense, which suffered much more after Bradley Beal’s injury, who recently returned to action and now has to work to bolster an offense that averages 110.7 points per game. In addition to that, the Wizards have also struggled on their side of the court, with an average of 113.6 points allowed per game.
Betting on the Sacramento Kings
As for the Sacramento Kings, they have been a bit inconsistent over the last month, but have done enough to stay in the top spots in the Western Conference. In fact, the Kings will face this game ranking sixth in the standings and only two games away from the top position. Thus, that makes them one of the protagonists in a tight conference that has only three games of difference between the 1st and 8th classified.
Sacramento has won three of its last four games. Most recently, the team won against the Los Angeles Lakers by a score of 120-134. In that game, Kevin Huerter lead the team scoring 26 points and being one of four players to score at least 20 points, while Domantas Sabonis had a triple-double of 13 points, 12 assists, and 21 rebounds.
That game speaks to how effective the Kings offense has been, as, currently, it is the best in the NBA with an average of 118.4 points scored per game.Besides, the offense is of huge help to the defensive side, which is among the worst in the league with an average of 115.9 points allowed per game.
JefeBet Prediction
The Washington Wizards have been very fragile on defense in recent weeks, and the fact that they played the yesterday may have a negative effect. What’s more, the Kings offense has been their best weapon throughout the campaign, and they should have no problem when being effective in this game.
Also, while the Kings also suffer a lot defensively, they have been able to enhance their offense. So, this time around, they may be able to deliver a better performance in that regard against the Wizards, who are very limited offensively and will be coming in not so rested.
The Kings have a 9-5 record at home, a condition in which their offense has been much more productive. So, the same is expected to happen against the Wizards to dominate the game and take a comfortable victory.
Prediction: Sacramento Kings Spread.
