Season series: First meeting; Phoenix won 2-0 last season

Phoenix was upset 122-117 by the Atlanta Hawks Tuesday as a 2.5-point favorite with the Over (237.5) sneaking in. G Devin Booker scored 35 points, but he lost the duel with Atlanta G Trae Young, who finished with a game-high 43 points. The Suns were also dominated 54-37 on the glass as they had a 3-game win streak snapped.

Washington enters on a 7-game skid. The Wizards were handed a 120-106 loss by the Minnesota Timberwolves Monday but covered as a 14.5-point home underdog with the Over (223.5) cashing. The Wizards were outrebounded 53-34 by the T-wolves. No surprise as Washington owns the worst rebounding differential (-4.5) in the league.

Suns at Wizards picks and predictions

Prediction

Suns 121, Wizards 116

Moneyline

PASS. 

The Suns are the much better team and will cover as -550 favorites, but the price is way too expensive and not worth the risk. Bet on the spread and/or Over/Under instead.

Against the spread

LEAN WIZARDS +10.5 (-110).

Washington has covered the spread in 2 of its last 4 games, while Phoenix is 0-2-1 ATS in its last 3 contests. The Wizards are also 3-1 ATS in their last 4 meetings with the Suns.

This is a lean because Washington is just 14-23-1 ATS this season and because Washington’s defense is terrible. It allows a league-worst 122.6 points per game, so Phoenix’s offense shouldn’t have a problem scoring.

Over/Under

BET OVER 233.5 (-105).

The Over has hit in back-to-back games for the Wizards and is 6-4 in their last 10 games. The Over is also 3-0 in Washington’s last 3 home games and is 5-2 in its last 7 at home.

The Over has also hit in back-to-back games for Phoenix, and it’s 7-3 in the last 10 matchups between these squads dating back to 2019.

Be warned: The Under is 6-2-2 in Phoenix’s last 10 outings.
