Washington Wizards vs Phoenix Suns Prediction: Wizards Will Repeat the Success of a Week Ago

Washington defeated Phoenix on the road a week ago, but then Bradley Beal played for the Wizards. It is still being determined whether one of the leaders of the capital club will be able to come out in the 2nd meeting with the Suns - will this stop the team?

For the 2nd year in a row, the Wizards are some under-contenders for the play-in, although the team has improved compared to last season. Bradley Beal missed about half of the last regular season and is also plagued by injuries. Beal was injured in the last match, and everything was going so well: Washington won 3 victories in 4 previous games. There has been no update on Bradley's condition yet.

Nevertheless, the wards of Wes Anseld Jr. defeated Philadelphia, although Beal did not finish the meeting. Kristaps Porziis played a good match and scored 24 points, but it is worth noting the team game. All 10 Wizards basketball players scored at least 7 points, although not all were very effective. Delon Wright, Corey Kispert, Kyle Kuzma, Ru I Hachimura, and Mont Morris did not make long shots, but the opponent hit even worse. The result is 116:111 in favor of Washington. Before that, the capital club dealt with Sacramento and Phoenix, losing to Utah.

The Suns' backline is empty due to injuries to Devin Booker, Landry Shamet, and Cameron Payne, and Cameron Johnson still needs to recover. Only the day before, the wards of Monty Williams interrupted a series of 3 defeats, and in general, it's amazing how Phoenix remains afloat without a key player: Booker, after all, recently went into the top 10 contenders for MVP. The Suns defeated Memphis (125:108), and the lack of losses from the opponent made the victory especially valuable. Deandre Ayton once again remained in the shadows, and Shamet and Booker were suddenly successfully replaced by Dwayne Washington Jr. He has 26 points and 8 assists.

The Wizards are gradually adding to their defense, and the return of Delon Wright came in handy. Wright could be a good substitute for Beale in his half, but the attack will be more difficult. It is difficult to stop Philadelphia now, and the noticeably weakened Phoenix is just right. In the last personal meeting, Shamet scored 9 threes, and both teams realized 40% of long-range shots. The total declared today could not be broken, but the percentage of hits may sink.
