The Phoenix Suns travel to the Capital One Arena to battle the Washington Wizards on Sunday afternoon. Here’s a Suns vs Wizards Prediction.

Phoenix Suns

The Phoenix Suns have been in great form as they've won nine of their last 12 games overall, but they will be hoping to bounce back in this one after falling short to the Hawks in a 129-120 road defeat on Friday. Kevin Durant led the team with 35 points, eight rebounds and eight assists, Devin Booker added 24 points with six rebounds and four assists while Bradley Beal chipped in with 14 points and 10 assists. As a team, the Suns shot 53 percent from the field and 14 of 37 from the 3-point line as they traded with the Hawks in a close contest, but they couldn't keep a lid on the Hawks' Trae Young who drained seven 3-pointers on his way to a game-high 32 points and 15 assists. The Suns will meet the Bucks after this one.

Washington Wizards

Meanwhile, the Washington Wizards have been in a slump as they've lost eight of their last 10 games overall and they will be hoping to snap a two-game skid after getting beaten by the Heat in a 110-102 loss on Friday. Corey Kispert led the team with 26 points on 10 of 18 shooting off the bench, Jordan Poole added 16 points with 10 assists while Deni Avdija chipped in with 15 points and eight rebounds. As a team, the Wizards shot just 41 percent from the field and 11 of 42 from the 3-point line as they got off to a decent start and took the lead into halftime, only to let it go to waste in the third quarter where they scored just 15 points to trail by as many as 16 points. Kyle Kuzma had a rough shooting night as he shot just five of 16 from the field while Poole shot just six of 21 from the field.

Suns vs Wizards Prediction

The Wizards are still shorthanded with Kyle Kuzma and Marvin Bagley both ruled out, which spells trouble against this red-hot Suns team who are coming into this one fresh off a rare defeat. The line is hefty for this one, but the Wizards have been in terrible form, they are banged up and they're going to find it hard to keep pace with the Suns' offense. I'm going with Phoenix to bounce back and get the big win and cover on the road.
