NBA Betting Trends
Washington
The Wizards are 5-15-1 against the spread in their last 21 Tuesday games, but 3-0-1 ATS in their last four games as an underdog.
Sacramento
The Kings are 4-11 against the spread in their last 15 games as a favorite and 2-8 ATS in their last 10 games as a home favorite.
Prediction:
The Kings won the first meeting this season back in November, 113-106 in Washington. Sacramento has the scoring depth to be a problem for the Wizards. Washington has Beal, who can take over a game, but the Wizards lack of defense and depth behind Beal should be concerning. Sacramento has a different player that can lead them in scoring each night and that can make them tough to defend if you struggle on defense like Washington does. I am going to ride with the Kings at home.
