Wizards vs. Suns Prediction

The Wizards have fallen hard this month and have not had a single win in December. Their defensive playing has left a lot to be desired lately and cost them badly time and time again. On offense, center Kristaps Porzingis has been a standout player this season. Regardless, the team overall are simply struggling to keep up with their opposition.

Despite being struck by the injury bug of late, the Suns have looked strong since breaking their five-game losing skid earlier this month. On offense, the Phoenix outfit are one of the most dangerous teams in the league right now. Should Devin Booker be cleared for tonight, there's little the Wizards will be able to do on defense to stop the Suns racking up points.

Prediction: Suns -7 (-110)
