The Washington Wizards visit the Talking Stick Resort Arena on Wednesday night to take on the Phoenix Suns.
The Washington Wizards have seen their playoff hopes slowly disappear before their eyes. Washington has lost four in a row and five out of their last six games to fall to 6.5 games behind the 8th seeded Miami Heat with eight games left to play. Washington will now have to win all their games and hope that the Heat, Magic and Hornets go cold to finish the season.

The Phoenix Suns have also dropped four straight games and have lost seven out of their last nine games. But unlike the Wizards who are fighting for a playoff spot, Phoenix is headed straight to the Draft Lottery with the worst record in the NBA’s Western Conference at 17-58 on the current season.
Who Wins?
Washington is 3-7 SU in their last 10 games played. The Wizards are 0-3 SU in their last three games on the road. Phoenix is 4-6 SU In their last 10 games played. The Suns are 2-3 ATS in their last five games played at home. Head to head, the Wizards are 6-4 SU in their last 10 games against the Suns.
The Wizards are 8-28 SU on the road this season and the Suns are equally awful at 10-26 SU at home this season. Both teams enter this game with four-game losing streaks (Washington was trailing the Lakers 56-67 as of this writing) but the Suns should have the edge because they’re playing in Phoenix and the Wizards just played in Los Angeles on Tuesday. I’m picking the Phoenix Suns to beat the Washington Wizards on 3/27/19.
Other Bets To Make
The Wizards are 6-4 ATS in their last 10 games played. Washington is 2-1 ATS in their last three games away from home. The Suns are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games played. Phoenix is 2-3 ATS in their last five games at the Talking Stick Resort Arena. Head to head, the Suns are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games against the Wizards.

Odds from betonline.ag as of 3/27/19
Washington is 3-9 ATS in their last dozen games against against an opponent with a winning percentage of below .400, 2-11 ATS in their last 13 games on the road against teams with a home winning percentage of below .400, 11-25-1 in their last 37 road games against teams with a losing home record and 13-34 ATS in their last 47 road games played. On the other hand, the Suns are 5-2 ATS in their last seven games when playing on one-day rest. Phoenix is also 4-1 ATS in their last five games against an opponent with a losing SU record. Washington is 3-7 ATS in their last 10 meetings in Phoenix and the underdog is 6-1 ATS in their last seven meetings. The Wizards are playing the second of back to back games here and I don’t expect them to be as sharp. I’ll take the free bucket and roll with the home team here, even if that team is Phoenix. Prediction: Suns +1.5
The total has gone under in six out of the last 10 games played by the Wizards. Washington has seen the total hit over in two out of their last three road games. The under is 8-2 in the Suns’ last 10 games played. The total has gone under in each of the last five home games played by the Suns.

The over is 5-0 in the Wizards’ last five games against an opponent with a winning percentage below .400 and 7-1 in their last eight games on the road against an opponent with a home winning percentage of below .400. The total has gone over in six out of the last eight games played by Phoenix against opponents from the Southeast Division.The Wizards are 29th in scoring defense while the Suns are 26th in the same statistical category. I don’t expect both teams to play defense here, not especially since they are out of the playoffs already. Prediction: Over 231
