The Kings have not been having a good season but they are coming off of a win in their last game and against a Timberwolves team that has some good players on their side. The Kings have started to play better recently winning 2 of their last 3 games but they have given a boost to their roster as well. The trade deadline just passed and the Kings have brought in Domantas Sabonis from the Pacers to help them start to win more games. He already made a huge impact in his first game scoring 22 points as he helped his team to a win against the T-Wolves. They are going up against a Wizards side that has really been struggling recently with just 2 wins in their last 10 games. They have also made a move recently, trading away Spencer Dinwiddie to the Dallas Mavericks in return for Kristaps Porzingis. Porzingis is just what they needed as he plays great on defense and they have been blowing a lot of their leads recently. Porzingis has been battling injuries for a while though and with Beal missing the Wizards are already hurting on the offensive side of the ball. This new look Kings team has a lot of firepower on it and it may be too much for the Wizards to handle here with their star player out. This will be a close game between two teams looking to turn things around but the Kings should edge out the Wizards here and take home the win.
