Wizards Will Be Presented With A Pleasant Surprise Tonight

Washington Wizards Taking On Sacramento Kings Tonight

For many years now, the Sacramento Kings have been the laughing stock of the NBA. They have missed the playoffs for 16 consecutive seasons now. This year, their misfortune has changed to fortune as they have held down the 3rd seed in the West for quite sometime now. In fact, they are now in 2nd place out West and have a chance to actually win the entire Western Conference. The Washington Wizards usually are on the other side. Instead, they are having a tough season as they are doing something the Kings used to do, hope to make the playoffs.

The Bottom Line

The Wizards seem to be losing ground as their season is suddenly away right before our very eyes. They have now loss four of their last five games and there isn’t an easy solution to their problems. They have had a rough campaign post all star weekend. At this point, many have to be wondering if a coaching change is imminent or if they have plans to enter into the NBA Draft Lottery, something else the Sacramento Kings are accustomed to. To win tonight, the Wizards HAVE to get Kyle Kuzma going offensively again. He has had his fair share of struggles ever since the all star break. Most importantly, they have to play solid defense. De’Aaron Fox is the NBA’s most clutch player this season and Domantas Sabonis reminds us all of Nikola Jokic more and more each and every day. The Wizards will have their hands full tonight.
