Washington Wizards vs Phoenix Suns. The NBA pick for this game is the Washington Wizards. Although Washington played poorly during its previous ten games, they kept their opponents tight, so they can cover the spread.
Phoenix will also be playing back-to-back games, which will result in fatigue and the absence of a few important players.
With little rest, Phoenix is 0-2 against the spread, and the injuries and thinned-out lineup will start to affect them.
The Wizards will undoubtedly want to end their losing run, and offensively they were successful, so this is also somewhat of a look-ahead area for Phoenix, who will look past Washington.
Phoenix could also rest some of their injured players, so go with Washington to get the points in this situation. The Washington Wizards will win to a predicted score of 116-109.
