Phoenix Suns vs Washington Wizards: Betting tips
Jordan Poole is the top scorer for the Wizards and has 21.5 points for his NBA prop. He should go over, as Kyle Kuzma won't be suiting up against the Suns.
The NBA prop for Kevin Durant is 25.5, and he has been going over in the last two games. This should be an easy over for him and the Wizards should keep the game close so KD will stay on the court.

The Suns are entering the matchup as the favorites over the struggling Wizards. The spread should be covered, while the total should be under just like in their December matchup.
