Sacramento may be missing a key part of their team as guard De'Aaron Fox is listed as questionable.
Let's see how the Inside The Wizards staff views the game tonight.

The Wizards have been impressive the last few games and I think it will continue tonight.
Improvements are being made and even if it isn't translating to wins, they are staying competitive.
If Fox does play for the Kings it is going to be tough for Washington to keep the game close but even without him, they have plenty of fire power in forwards Domantas Sabonis, Harrison Barnes and Keegan Murray.
Injuries could factor for the Wizards as they have multiple guys with game time decision tags.
Washington guard Delon Wright coming back is unlikely, but he would be a huge help on the defensive side of the ball.
I think eventually Sacramento will have just a little too much firepower at the end of the game and take advantage of a Wizards team that struggles in the fourth quarter of close games.

The Washington Wizards (4-21) are facing the Sacramento Kings (15-9) in the second game of a four-game west coast road trip. This game will be the first of two matchups between Sacramento and Washington this season. The Wizards lost Sunday against the Phoenix Suns 112-108.
The Wizards are coming off another tough lost last night, this time to the Suns. Washington held the lead until 7:47 left in the fourth quarter before Phoenix took over for good. I see another rough night for the Wizards. I expect the Kings to win this one easily and a big night for Domantas Sabonis.
