Analysis: With two flights to catch today, and sitting in Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport at the time of this writing, let me get right down to business today for my beloved BetUS NBA sports betting enthusiasts by saying that I fully expect the Phoenix Suns to win and cover the spread in this contest against the inept Washington Wizards.
While I still think the Suns made a major boo-boo by jettisoning former head coach Mike D’Antoni and altering his up-tempo style to a more traditional style, the Suns are the clear-cut winner in this matchup.
