NBA Betting Trends
Washington
The Wizards are 6-1 against the spread in their last seven games against Western Conference opponents, but just 13-34 ATS in their last 47 road games.
Phoenix
The Suns are 4-9 against the spread in their last 13 Eastern Conference games and 8-21 ATS in their last 29 home games against a team with a losing road record.
Prediction:
Washington and Phoenix are both bad and neither has anything to play for. However, Phoenix seems completely focused on non-essential things like have Booker put up big points. Washington isn’t going to just focus on Bradley Beal. I am sure the Wizards will spread the ball out and be able to score with ease on this Phoenix defense.
NBA Prediction: Washington Wizards -1.5
