Seven different Wizards players scored in double figures on Friday, but that doesn't mean they had a good day in the 128-107 loss to the Pelicans. It was a game that seemed manageable for Washington, especially since New Orleans had lost nine straight, but the Wizards' highlight was Vuckecvic's 15 points and five blocks. They trailed 60-50 at halftime, and a 21-5 Pelicans run effectively ended the Wizards' chances.
Washington hasn't made the playoffs since 2021; once again, they look set to struggle at the bottom of their conference, but the move to acquire Trae Young from the Hawks seems, at least, a step in the right direction. The former Hawks star received a warm welcome as he was applauded on the bench during the game against the Pelicans. Even so, Young is not expected to make his debut on Sunday against the Suns, as he continues to deal with a quadriceps injury.
The Suns and Wizards already faced off this season. It was on December 29th, and Phoenix won 115-101. They also covered the 11.5 spread in pregame betting. Gillespie scored 25 points that day.

Our Washington Wizards vs Phoenix Suns Prediction
On the same day the Suns suffered their 27th loss of the season, they improved their record to 23-15, winning 8 of their last 10 games. On Friday, they beat the Knicks 112-107 in Phoenix.
The Suns were able to maintain their lead down the stretch, and despite Brunson's 27 points for New York, a tremendous combination from Booker and Brooks, who combined for 58 points, kept them in the game.
Our prediction for Suns vs Wizards is: Suns -13.5.
