Washington Wizards vs Phoenix Suns Betting Preview

The Washington Wizards (6-37) face off against the Phoenix Suns (22-21) in a Saturday night showdown at Footprint Center, set to tip off at 9:00 PM ET. The Suns come into this game with a significant advantage, riding a three-game home winning streak and having had three days of rest since their last victory against the Brooklyn Nets, where they triumphed 108-84.

Conversely, the Wizards are struggling, having lost 12 consecutive games, including a recent defeat to the LA Clippers, where they fell 110-93. This extended losing streak has placed the Wizards in a tough position, especially as they travel cross-country and across two time zones for this matchup. The fatigue from the long trip could weigh heavily on the Wizards, making it even more challenging for them to compete effectively.

From a betting perspective, the Suns are heavily favored with a spread of -14.0 and a moneyline of -900, reflecting an implied win probability of 87%. Meanwhile, the Wizards, with a moneyline of +650, carry an implied win probability of just 13%. The sharp money seems to be leaning on the over for player props, particularly for Nick Richards’s Points, Rebounds, and Assists, which has seen its total rise from 19.5 to 20.5 (-125).

With the Suns in good form at home and the Wizards struggling mightily, this game shapes up to be a significant challenge for Washington as they look to end their losing streak. Bettors should keep a close eye on the player prop markets as well as the spread, given the current trends.
