Three things to ponder
1. Inpenetrable paint
While the Wizards lack a true shot blocker, they surrender the least points in the paint per game. Washington is adept at denying entry passes but they are susceptible to fouls, which is music to Sacramento’s ears.
2. Ramon’s revenge
Ramon Sessions, who was a major disappointment in 36 appearances with the Kings this season, faces his former club for the first time since being flipped at the trade deadline. He and Andre Miller should guard each other often in what will be a statement game for both.
3. Proper send-off
Tonight’s contest in Washington marks the end of an ugly eight-game road trip for Sacramento, for which they are currently 2-5. After falling to the 76ers on Friday, the Kings owe it to their fans to show more effort against the Wizards.
