PHX vs WAS Dream11 Prediction:
In the forecast scenario, COVID-19 produces a lot of anxiety and uneasiness, while injuries already cause a lot of problems. In this cross-conference matchup, the Phoenix Suns take on the Washington Wizards.
The Suns have one of the greatest records in the league, with four times as many victories as losses; the Wizards, on the other hand, have lost six of their previous seven games and are completely out of sync.
Without Devin Booker, the Suns have won the bulk of their games, demonstrating their roster depth and team balance.
Yes, but without Booker, their offence can get stagnate at times, causing leaks in terms of gaining traction. Phoenix is still on track for a historic season and is a favourite to win the NBA championship.
The Wizards are currently playing their worst basketball of the season. Normally, the team has no influence over the game, and even weaker opponents have dominated them on both ends of the court.
The Wizards’ defence has now collapsed, and they are suddenly looking like a non-playoff team. The extended NBA season has the potential to completely change a team’s fortunes.
Host: Phoenix Suns
Visitors: Washington Wizards
Match Timing: 17 December, @ 07:30 AM
Venue: Foot Print Center
NBA forecasts, statistics, and analysis
Suns: Paul, Ayton, two stellar wings, and deep bench
Even when their reserve guys play, the Suns don’t let up on the pressure. Phoenix has benefited from Chris Paul’s great leadership, which has brought cohesion, discipline, and role clarity to the team.
The Suns can present a tough variety of combinations and can dominate opponents of all types, with two wings like Bridges and Crowder who can be two-way threats and a centre like Deandre Ayton who can go big in terms of scoring, rebounding, and blocking shots.
Before his injury, Devin Booker was averaging 30 points or more per game, and when he returns, the Suns will be even scarier.
Wizards: Lack of intent
This month, Washington has played some of its worst basketball. The Wizards’ position has taken a huge knock as a result of Spencer Dinwiddie’s difficulties, and it has now become a cause for concern. What can this Washington squad improve upon?
Their defence was excellent at the start of the season, but they have since fallen short in contesting shots, and opponents are often putting up 110+ points against them. The Wizards have an ineffective offence and a sagging defence, and a few deals may be required at this point.
