Looks like the Phoenix Suns are headed here coming off a loss from Atlanta where they only managed to score 123 despite KD scoring 31 and DB scoring 35. This week’s games; Bradley Beal is doubtful for tonight’s match and centre Jusuf Nurkic has been ruled out, which should spell another high shooting volume game for Booker.
Booker has had at least 20 field goal attempts in five successive games and shot 0-8 from three in the one game in which he scored less than 30 points in that stretch. Actually, in the road games, Booker has been a better shooter from the three-point line having increased his field goal percentage from the arc to 39.5% than the 30.3% he settled for in home games.
The Washington Wizards set the fourth highest pace for tempo this season and have the worst defensive efficiency. Holding the worst defensive rating in the league at 122.6 points per game, the Warriors have worsened this statistic to 124.9 ppm in the last ten games.
For the same opponents, the team allows the 29th most 3-point attempts per game (14.7) and the 27th worst free throw shooting opposition rate. That’s ugly news when it comes to Booker who takes 7.9 three pointers per game shooting at a free-throw rate in the 20th percentile. The Over 27.5 points for Booker seems like a no-brainer in this sweet match up.
The Washington Wizards have been the absolute laughing stock of the NBA this year and they have made it seven games on the trot that they have lost a game after they were defeated 120-106 by the Timberwolves on Tuesday.
Kyle Kuzma and Jordan Poole also got 20+ points while Washington holy kept up the score for almost the entire game but let Golden State pull away in the last quarter as they were outscored 38-26.
The Wizards are only 25th for scoring with 108.3 points per night, and they surrender an atrocious 122.6 points per game, which is again the poorest in the NBA.
The Phoenix Suns, meanwhile, will be hoping to get back into the win column tonight after the Hawks stopped their three-game winning streak on the road on Wednesday, 122-117.
All-Stars Kevin Durant and Devin Booker combined for 67 points, but Atlanta's 16–8 surge in the last quarter was the game-changing key.
The Phoenix Suns have lost both of their away games. At State Farm Arena, they recently lost to the Atlanta Hawks 122-117. Devin Booker scored 35 points, followed by Ryan Dunn with 14 and Kevin Durant with 31.
The Washington Wizards have now lost seven straight games after their defeat last time. They lost against the Minnesota Timberwolves 120-106 at home at Capital One Arena. Bilal Coulibaly scored 15, Jordan Poole scored 20, and Kyle Kuzma scored 22 points.
In their last two meetings, the Suns have defeated the Wizards. They won 140–112 at Capital One Arena after winning 112-108 at Footprint Center. In the ten prior meetings between these two clubs, the Suns have won six of them.
