My Prediction
Sacramento Kings by 17
In the world of professional basketball, you never know what you're going to get. Take tonight's game, for instance. The Washington Wizards saunter into Sacramento, looking to make some magic against the Kings.
Now, the Wizards might have some tricks up their sleeve. Specifically, Jordan Poole, who's been lighting up the points with an average of 25.1 per game in the past month, is someone to keep an eye on. Likewise, Malcolm Brogdon and Kyle Kuzma have been showing off some commendable skills on the court recently. Frankly, the Wizards might surprise us tonight—if they weren't up against a particularly royal pain.
The Kings, no strangers to holding court, have Domantas Sabonis practically raining baskets with an impressive 18.7 points per game in the last month. And don't even get me started on De'Aaron Fox, who's been doing his namesake proud, and Malik Monk, who's seemingly on a mission to claim the throne for himself. Quite frankly, it's an uphill battle for any team daring to step onto their basketball court.
However, let's not forget history. Our last encounters have been fairly neck to neck, with the Kings scraping a win in December 2023, but then tripping up in March 2024. So, it'll be interesting to see how tonight's game plays out.
Unfortunately for the Wizards, their recent results suggest they've got about as much chance of winning this thing as I have of becoming the next NBA commissioner. And let me tell you, folks, the odds there are not good.
Looking at the numbers from a regular season standpoint, it hasn't been much of a fairy tale for our Wizards either, who have won only 6 games, while our Kings have been slightly more majestic with 21 wins. The Wizards are right at the bottom of the Eastern Conference, and let's not dodge the truth, they seem pretty comfortable there. Meanwhile, the Kings are holding firm in the middle of the Western Conference, proving they got some game.
Overall, unless the Wizards pull a rabbit out of a hat, or start playing like they're under some sort of charm, it's looking pretty good for our Kings.
