Opinion – PHOENIX (+5) over Washington
Rotation #706 – 6:05 pm Pacific
Phoenix got better as soon as they moved Brandon Knight to the end of the bench and the Suns have upset home wins over Charlotte, Oklahoma City, and Boston in their last 3 games. They may get another upset win tonight, as my ratings favor the Wizards by just 1 point based on current rotations. Phoenix is better with Knight sitting and Washington isn’t as good with their new rotation, as Ian Mahinmi has been a disaster (he has a plus-minus of -41 points in just 163.7 minutes) and they’ve had trouble working Bojan Bogdanovic into the rotation, as his plus-minus is -25 in just 147.2 minutes (-8.2 per 48 minutes).
I don’t quite have enough to make this a Best Bet but there is some line value here and I’ll lean with Phoenix plus the points.
