Wizards vs Suns Prediction
The Suns have the ability to blow the doors off here, but they’re also still banged up and are on the road where 8 of their 13 losses have come. The Wizards played last night, but they’ve still covered 6 of their last 8 games and are coming off back-to-back wins. This is the first time this season the Suns are double-digit favorites and they’ve failed to cover 6 of their last 8 games in the roll. There’s an obvious talent gap, but this is too many points. Give me the Wizards and the free buckets.
