Betting on the Phoenix Suns
The once-greatest team in the West, the Suns, have already dropped three straight games and are unable to bounce back. A contributing factor in their lackluster progress is the fact that players Devin Booker and Cam Johnson are injured.
Booker was putting up 27.1 points per game, which is quite important on a team that has now lost offensive punch. Landry Shamet is another player whose performance has declined. In the previous 10 games, he scored 31 total points on average, but he averaged 12.4 in the 128-125 defeat against the Nuggets. This is a real pity.
Phoenix is currently looking at the rest of the Western Conference from afar: they are already behind the Nuggets by three games. Both their poor performances in a number of crucial games and the aforementioned injuries have definitely harmed them. Although the season is still far from done, it’s time to bounce back.
Betting on Washington Wizards
Curiously, the Wizards ended their streak of 10 straight defeats against the Suns. With the help of Kyle Kuzma, who scored 29 points while dishing out 6 assists, they overcame them 113-110.
That victory has helped the Wizards, who have already won again, this time against the Kings. They beat them 125-111. One might even say that they seem to like beating tough teams.
Washington has to win because they have a difficult stretch coming up, playing four away games, two of which are against Giannis Antetokounmpo’s Bucks. Losing is no longer an option; if they want to make the playoffs, they are gradually running out of room for error.
JefeBet Prediction
As we told you, Washington won the first of the series against the Suns, and we believe they will do it a second time. Because Phoenix is far from a lock to win on the road and their current form is not great, we believe the Wizards will win the game.
The Suns are 5-10 playing away from Arizona, while the Wizards are a pretty decent home underdog with an 8-7 record. Besides, they don’t have so many injuries and they have a full roster, including their biggest star, Bradley Beal.
Prediction: Washington Wizards Moneyline.
