Washington Wizards vs. Phoenix Suns Game Predictions (12-17-23)

Inside The Wizards staff gives you their predictions and analysis for the game against the Phoenix Suns.

The Washington Wizards (4-20) are on the road to face the Phoenix Suns (13-12) at Footprint Center in Phoenix, AZ. Tip-off is at 8:00 p.m. E.S.T. 

It is the first time the Wizards will meet up with the Suns since the Bradley Beal trade but unfortunately he will not be available as he is sidelined with an ankle injury.

Washington got a much needed win last game and will look to carry the momentum over to tonight against a star-studded Phoenix team.

The Suns have not lived up to expectations so far this season, some of this because of injuries, but there is lots of time left for them to get back on track.

Let's see how the Inside The Wizards staff views the game tonight.

The Wizards will be able to speed Phoenix up and score some points. 

Washington guard Jordan Poole has been playing much better lately and they will need him to continue this trend if they want to compete tonight.

As mentioned above the Suns have been playing up to par yet but they still have forward Kevin Durant and guard Devin Booker who are lethal from anywhere on the court.

Because of that I like Phoenix to have a big run at some point in the game and hold on to that lead.
