The Washington Wizards are hosting the Sacramento Kings on Thursday night at 7 p.m. ET to try and fight off a five-game losing streak.
The Kings should win this matchup handily. Sacramento boasts some of the most lethal offensive weapons in the league and have the luxury of matchup up against the Wizards’ league-worst defense. Sacramento is also clinging on to a playoff spot for dear life: the Kings are in a dead heat with the Dallas Mavericks and Phoenix Suns for the Western Conference’s sixth seed, which would mean avoiding playing any of Luka Donu010diu0107, Kyrie Irving, Kevin Durant, Devin Booker, LeBron James, Anthony Davis or Stephen Curry in the play-in tournament.
