The Sacramento Kings look to turn things around on the road tonight where they are just 6-19 on the season. Despite coming off a win over the Timberwolves at home, the Kings' spits away from the Golden 1 Center are dreadful. The Kings have not won a road game since Dec. 1 and are currently riding a 13 game road losing streak. The Kings are coming off a 132-119 win over the Timberwolves but I just can't shake their consistent and terrible road splits. The Wizards, meanwhile, are coming off a 113-112 win over the Brooklyn Nets as one-point favorites. The win snapped a two-game losing streak but the Wizards are just 2-8 overall in their last 10 games. Here are the odds for this clash courtesy of WynnBET:

Kings vs. Wizards Prediction and Pick

This is one of the more difficult games of the night to try and predict. On one hand, you have a Kings team that, for some reason, is awful on the road. It boggles my mind the Jekyll and Hyde act this team does on a regular basis depending on where the game is played. On the other hand, you have a Wizards team that has been losing games all over the place. 

I think that the icing on top of the cake for me though is the fact that the Wizards just traded away two of their better scorers earlier this week in Spencer Dinwiddie and Davis Bertans. While they did acquire Kristaps Porzingis, this is still a team in need of a lot more help than that. And unless that happens in the next couple of hours, I have little faith in them tonight. I have even less faith in the Kings however and am cannot get past their inability to win on the road. I am going to ride that trend here and take the Wizards as ML underdogs at home.

Pick: Wizards +127 to win
