Phoenix Suns vs Washington Wizards prediction
I’m not excited to lay double-digit chalk with the Phoenix Suns on the road, a team that’s 18-29-2 ATS on the season. The Suns could also be in a look ahead spot with the Bucks on deck. However, the Wizards are just god awful and their defense is sure to get cooked against this Suns’ offense that has their trio cooking. The Wizards are also going to be without Bagley and Kuzma, which makes things even worse. There’s probably better options out with a healthy NBA card, but I’ll lay the points with the Suns if forced to pick.
