Kings vs. Wizards Prediction, Spread, Over/Under – Sunday, July 12
Both teams opened Las Vegas Summer League play with wins on Thursday, July 9. Washington took down the Jazz in a 92-88 final between the top two picks in the 2026 NBA Draft.
Dybantsa displayed his impressive physicality with 27 points and 7 rebounds while shooting 38.9% from the field. He went 0 of 5 on 3-pointers, providing validity to scouting reports’ worries around his 3-point jumper.
The No. 1 pick left late in the game with a leg injury, but he should be good to go on Sunday, as Dybantsa suggested he was fine following the win.
For Sacramento, Acuff recorded 19 points and 7 assists in his clash with the Clippers’ No. 5 pick, G Keaton Wagler, helping engineer the 91-85 win on Thursday. However, Acuff made only 6 of 20 field goal attempts (30.0%). That followed 9-of-29 and 7-of-19 shooting performances in the California Classic Summer League.
The Kings also selected UConn F Alex Karaban with the No. 29 pick in the 2026 NBA Draft, and he posted 0 points and 2 rebounds while finishing 0 of 6 from the floor on Thursday. Sacramento’s second-round pick, G Emanuel Sharp, has been the most impressive rookie thus far following his 21 points to open Las Vegas play.

Kings vs. Wizards Expected Starting Lineups for Sunday, July 12
Let’s dive into the expected starting lineups for Kings vs. Wizards on Sunday night. Lineups aren’t official and are based on recent playing time trends, injuries, schedule dynamics, and more.
Kings Expected Starting Lineup vs. Wizards
- PG: Darius Acuff Jr.
- SG: Nique Clifford
- SF: Alex Karaban
- PF: Dylan Cardwell
- C: Maxime Raynaud
Alongside the expected starting lineup, G Emanuel Sharp played for 26 minutes in Sacramento’s opener in the 2026 NBA Summer League. A tweak to the starting lineup could be in line following Sharp’s dominant 21-point, 4-steal performance while draining 3 of 8 3-point shots (37.5%).
Kings C Maxime Raynaud could return to the lineup tonight, as he sat out on Thursday. In his 2025-26 rookie season, the former second-round pick made the All-Rookie team with 12.5 points per game (PPG) and 7.5 rebounds per game (RPG) over 74 appearances.
Wizards Expected Starting Lineup vs. Kings
- PG: Tre Johnson
- SG: Jamir Watkins
- SF: Will Riley
- PF: AJ Dybantsa
- C: Felix Okpara
Second-year pieces Tre Johnson, Jamir Watkins, and Will Riley will likely continue to round out the Wizards’ backcourt. Center could be a revolving door, as rookie Felix Okpara logged 20 minutes with 4 points and 6 rebounds on July 9 vs. the Jazz. Big man Julian Reese produced 21 minutes, 6 points, and 4 boards off the bench in the 92-88 win.
Kings vs. Wizards Picks, Player Stats for PrizePicks: 7/12/26
Here are some top Kings vs. Wizards picks to target on Sunday, July 12. Tonight’s NBA Summer League picks for PrizePicks include Darius Acuff Jr. and AJ Dybantsa.
Kings PG Darius Acuff Jr. vs. Wizards: 22.5 Points
- Over three Summer League games, Darius Acuff Jr. is shooting 32.4% from the field. This includes a 41.4% true shooting percentage (34th percentile) and 38.2% effective field goal percentage (32nd percentile), per The 5th Factor.
- Acuff has shot 25.9% on 3-pointers compared to his elite 44.0% mark at Arkansas during the 2025-26 season. Perhaps he’s experiencing an adjustment period to the NBA’s 3-point line that has a longer distance from the hoop.
- After taking an absurd 22.7 shots per game over the last three contests, a decline in volume could be ahead. As mentioned, Maxime Raynaud will likely return to the lineup tonight. This would be the Kings’ first Summer League game at full strength, potentially leading to a more even share across the rotation.
- Acuff, who stands at 6-foot-2, will be at a height disadvantage against Wizards G Tre Johnson (6’5”) and G Jamir Watkins (6’6”), perhaps further harming his shooting struggles.

Kings G Emanuel Sharp vs. Wizards: 13.5 Points
- After selecting Maxime Raynaud in the second round of the 2025 NBA Draft, the Kings may have struck gold once again with the No. 45 pick, Emanuel Sharp.
- Through three Summer League appearances, Sharp is posting 17.3 PPG.
- His efficiency lacked with a 30.8 FG% at the California Classic, but that improved to 40.0% and 37.5% on triples in Sharp’s first game in Las Vegas.
- The former Houston Cougar could become a key “3-and-D” piece, and the Kings are supplying plenty of looks from deep, as Sharp is totaling 9.7 3-point attempts per contest in Summer League play.
- He was a high-level shooter with a 37.6% mark from deep over 144 collegiate games. If Sharp keeps getting looks, he’s bound to knock some in — as we saw from his 3 converted triples on Thursday.

Wizards F AJ Dybantsa vs. Kings: 22.5 Points
- Kings C Dylan Cardwell, C Maxime Raynaud, and G Nique Clifford are Sacramento’s notable second-year players on the Summer League roster. That could mean a two-center starting lineup with Cardwell and Raynaud.
- Among players with at least 20.0 minutes per game last season, Cardwell’s 111.1 defensive rating was the best mark on the Kings in the 14-player split, per NBA.com.
- We circled why Dybantsa is a matchup nightmare in our Jazz vs. Wizards preview, highlighting his unique blend of speed and power. That speed could torch Cardwell in potential one-on-one matchups tonight.
- Following a 27-point performance and lofty 39.2% usage rate (97th percentile) on Thursday, another hefty role should await the No. 1 pick on Sunday.
