Wizards at Suns picks and predictions
Prediction
Suns 123, Wizards 112
Moneyline
Go ahead and PASS on the moneyline in this game despite the Suns being heavily favored at home. Taking Phoenix straight up isn’t worth doing considering the current odds for the Suns to win.
Against the spread
Even with G Bradley Beal returning in Washington’s last game, SUNS -6.5 (-115) appears to be the ideal choice given how these 2 teams are currently playing. There’s also a chance the Suns will have G Devin Booker available on Tuesday after he sat out the 1st leg of a back-to-back on Monday.
The Wizards are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games following a loss and they are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games with a winning record. On top of that, Washington is 1-4 ATS in its last 5 meetings with Phoenix.
Over/Under
OVER 228.5 (-110) is an enticing bet in this contest. The Suns have the 2nd-best offensive rating in the NBA and the Wizards have Beal, F Kyle Kuzma, and C Kristaps Porzingis on the court together, so they are capable of scoring enough points to help us hit the Over.
The Suns have hit the Over in 6 straight games following a win and they’ve achieved the Over in 5 straight following an ATS win. Also, the Over is 7-1 in the last 8 meetings between the Wizards and the Suns.
