Defensively, Washington is giving up a league-worst 119.9 points per game while opponents shoot 48.7 percent from the field. Bradley Beal is playing at a very high level right now. He has scored at least 40 points in three of his last five, and has scored at least 30 in all five. On the season, Beal is averaging 30.4 points, 4.3 rebounds and 6.1 assists per contest.

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.

NBA Prediction: Sacramento Kings -5
