Wednesday NBA Odds, Picks & Predictions: Wizards vs. Kings Being Targeted by Sharp Action, Big Money

Washington Wizards vs. Sacramento Kings Odds

This contest between two relatively even teams has seen sharp action completely alter the odds.

The two teams have roughly the same against the spread records. Washington is 12-15-1 while Sacramento is 12-16.

And each team has its deficiencies, though on different sides of the ball.

The Kings have one of the worst defenses in the NBA, ranking 28th overall in adjusted defense, according to NBA Stats. Meanwhile, the Wizards are 22nd overall in adjusted offense.

Despite Sacramento’s terrible defense, their adjusted offense is actually above-average at 13th. The Wizards have the 17th-best defense out of the 30 teams in the league.

Washington will be missing Rui Hachimura due to injury and Kyle Kuzma is questionable because he’s on the COVID-19 protocol list.

Sacramento is dealing with their own coronavirus issues. Interim head coach Alvin Gentry will miss this game after testing positive for the virus. It’s unclear as of Wednesday afternoon if any players have tested positive.

Read further to see how these factors have affected the line, and where sharp action lies as a result.

Washington Wizards vs. Sacramento Kings Sharp Action, Big Money, Expert Pick

The sharps and big money bettors love the Wizards on this one.

It’s been enough to move this line from its opening mark of Wizards +1 to its current standing at Wizards -2.

Some of that line movement is assuredly due to the news that Gentry tested positive for the virus. But not all of it. Sharps think there’s value on a Wizards team that has lost four of its last five games.

While about 63% of the bets are on the Wizards spread, a ridiculous 93% of the money is.

Also, one of The Action Network’s NBA experts is riding with Washington on this one.
