Suns at Wizards picks and predictionsPrediction
Suns 121, Wizards 115
PASS.
Avoid this play. The Suns (-500) should come out on top, but they are far too expensive to consider.
BET WIZARDS +10.5 (-110).
The Wizards have been on a tear, especially on the offensive end, which suggests they should score enough to keep this game close. Washington has tallied at least 109 points in 5 straight games and is 4-1 ATS in its last 5 games as a double-digit underdog.
The Suns have performed well as of late, but they haven’t won by double digits in their last 6 away games, going 3-3 in that span. Phoenix has allowed at least 108 points in 4 games in a row.
Take WIZARDS +10.5 (-110).
BET OVER 233.5 (-105).
The Wizards have the worst defense in the NBA with a defensive rating of 122. They also play at the seventh-fastest pace, which should allow for more opportunities for the Suns.
Phoenix’s offense ranks 13th in the NBA, which suggests it should capitalize on those chances. The Suns are 2-2 O/U in their last 4 games while Washington is 4-1 O/U in its last 5 contests. Take OVER 233.5 (-105).
