The Washington Wizards (11-56) are at home to face the Sacramento Kings (40-28) at Capital One Arena. Tip-off is at 6:00 p.m. E.S.T.
This is the second game this season between these two teams after the Kings defeated the Wizards 143-131 earlier this year in Sacramento.
The injury bug has struck Washington down and once again they will be missing a ton on guys including starters guard Tyus Jones and center Marvin Bagley III.
Good news though is that forwards Deni Avdija and Kyle Kuzma are off the injury report and should be available.
Let's see how the Inside The Wizards staff views the game tonight.
Gage Sheets: Kings 131 Wizards 118
Adding Kuzma and Avdija back is huge for the scoring problems Washington has been having lately which could boost them to victory against a Sacramento team that can struggle defensively.
But winning a game at Capital One Arena has been near impossible this season.
The Kings can score at will against even the best defenses so it will be hard to keep up with them.
There will be some fire underneath the Wizards especially getting some guys back but eventually the prowess of the Sacramento offense will overwhelm Washington.
It could be close for a while but eventually the Kings will pull away and cover the -11.5 point spread.
