Wizards vs Suns Prediction: The Phoenix Suns are expected to win the upcoming game against the Washington Wizards as per the latest prediction.
Another mighty challenge awaits the Washington Wizards as they are set to meet the Phoenix Suns on the upcoming road trip Tuesday night. The Wizards have almost hit the rock bottom after 10 consecutive defeats. Unseld Jr. needs to find some way to bring Washington’s campaign on track. His game plan is already heavily criticized and discussions are on for his replacement after an extremely disappointing performance from the Wizards. They faced a 117-119 loss to the LA Lakers in the last game.
The Phoenix Suns will look to continue their dominance at home when they host the Wizards at the Footprint Center Arena in the upcoming matchup. The Suns have made a solid comeback after a frustrating stretch of losing fixtures. They would like to target a spot in the top 3 of the Western Conference with a win over the Wizards. Phoenix won the last game against the New Orleans Pelicans with a score of 118-114.
The Wizards managed to give a tough but couldn’t end their losing streak in the last game against the Lakers.
The Washington Wizards seemed to lack a perfect strategy to counter LeBron James who was looking more lethal in the absence of Davis. The last quarter turned out to be an interesting contest. An alley-oop dunk from Daniel Gafford helped the Wizards secure a 102-98 lead with 6:43 left. However, an 8-0 surge by the Lakers led by James’ 3-pointer put Washington on the back foot. The Lakers got a decisive lead which they managed to retain till the end of the game and handed another defeat to the Wizards.
Bradley Beal led the scoring for the Wizards. He finished with 29 points and 3 assists. Kyle Kuzma too tried his best and gave a key contribution of 22 points with 16 rebounds.
Devin Booker single-handedly led his side to an amazing comeback win against the Pelicans in the last fixture.
A spectacular show from the three-time All-Star, Devin Booker ensured Phoenix’s win despite a disastrous start. Booker added 58 points to his name with 6 rebounds and 5 assists and fought like a lone warrior for the Suns. The Suns got a poor start and went on a trail right from the opening minutes. The deficit grew to 24 points before the Suns came back in the third quarter. Phoenix leveled the points with 7:04 remaining before Booker’s amazing 23 points in a row which put them ahead.
Apart from a historic performance by Booker, Mikal Bridges looked decent and he finished the contest with 15 points and 3 rebounds.
Washington Wizards
The Washington Wizards got a decent start to the campaign but they have looked completely out of touch this month. They are currently at 11-20 in the 11th position in the Eastern Conference. The Wizards are on an embarrassing losing streak of 10 fixtures. At home, they are 8-7 till now. The Wizards could win only 3 out of 16 away matchups this season.
Phoenix Suns
The Phoenix Suns are having another dominating season. They are currently at 18-12 in the 4th position in the Western Conference. Phoenix won 2 of the last 5 games. They have maintained a solid home record of 13-3 so far. On road trips, the Suns won 5 out of 14 fixtures.
The odds are heavily in the favor of the Phoenix Suns looking at the performance of both sides till now. The Suns are ahead in most of the offensive stats in the current season. The Wizards can hope to pose a strong challenge in the defense.
Devin Booker is currently on the list of questionable players for Tuesday. However, he is expected to play the next one for the Suns. Booker is averaging 28.0 points per game till now. On the other hand, the Washington Wizards will rely on Bradley Beal who has played with an average of 23.2 points per game so far. Beal just returned from an injury.
