What to Know

The Washington Wizards are hoping to patch up the holes in a defense that has allowed an average of 120.85 points per matchup. They will stay at home another game and welcome the Sacramento Kings at 6 p.m. ET on Sunday at Capital One Arena. Sacramento will need to watch out since Washington has now posted big point totals in their last five contests.

The Wizards were able to grind out a solid victory over the Charlotte Hornets last week, winning 125-118. No one put up better numbers for the Wizards than SG Bradley Beal, who really brought his A game. He posted a double-double on 30 points and 12 assists along with five rebounds. The game made it Beal's fifth in a row with at least 30 points.

The Kings lost to the Brooklyn Nets by a decisive 116-97 margin.

Washington's win lifted them to 5-8 while Sacramento's loss dropped them down to 6-8. Two offensive stats to keep in the back of your head while watching: The Wizards enter the contest with 48.30% field goal percentage, good for best in the league. Less enviably, the Kings are stumbling into the matchup with the third fewest rebounds per game in the league, having accrued only 41.8 on average.
