Washington Wizards vs Phoenix Suns Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 01/11/26

The Washington Wizards will travel Sunday night to take on the Phoenix Suns in a non-conference matchup. The Wizards have a record of 10-27 this season, and they are 4-14 when playing on the road. Washington has lost three of their last four games, including their last loss against the New Orleans Pelicans at a score of 128-107. Kyshawn George led the team in scoring with 15 points. The Wizards had seven players scoring in double figures in the losing effort. The Suns have a record of 23-15 this season, and they are 13-5 on their home court. Phoenix has won four of their last five games, including their last win over the New York Knicks at a score of 112-107. Devin Booker led the team in scoring with 31 points, and Dillon Brooks added 27 points. 

The Wizards are the worst team in the NBA. Well, they were until recently. In the Wizards last 14 games, they have a record of 7-7, and they are beginning to show a lot more potential. Alex Sarr, Kyshawn George, and Bilal Coulibally have begun to show that they could be key pieces towards the Wizards future. A change that head coach Brian Keefe made that could be the reason towards better success is making Tre Johnson a full-time starter. The Wizards are 4-4 since that decision has been made, and Johnson has answered the call by averaging 13.8 points in games he has started. Johnson’s career high of 24 points came against the Suns earlier this season. The Wizards are much better than their record shows. If you just look at the last month, they are a .500 team. I’ll side with the Wizards to give the Suns a challenging effort in the desert tonight.

Wizards +14 is available at the time of publishing. Playable at that number.
