Phoenix Suns are the current Western Conference leaders. Devin Booker is the team's best player. He scored 58 points on 60% shooting in his last game.

Washington Wizards are a team with a subpar defense.

The Wizards are not on the same level as Phoenix. The Suns will take care of the Wizards handily.
