Why the Wizards can cover

Washington has an opportunity to extend a winning streak past two games for just the second time this season after picking up a 116-111 win over the 76ers on Tuesday. The Wizards have won three of their last four games, including a 113-110 win at Phoenix on Dec. 20. They also posted a 125-111 win against Sacramento last Friday, so they are playing some of their best basketball of the season. 

Kristaps Porzingis missed the previous game against Phoenix due to an illness, but he scored 24 points and grabbed 10 rebounds to help snap Philadelphia's eight-game winning streak on Tuesday. He has a team-high 11 double-doubles this season and has scored at least 20 points in 11 of his last 13 games. Phoenix is playing without leading scorer Devin Booker, who remained in Phoenix to get some additional care for his groin injury. 

Why the Suns can cover

Phoenix was able to overcome Booker's absence on Tuesday, snapping a three-game losing streak with a 125-108 win at Memphis. Duane Washington Jr. scored a career-high 26 points and dished out eight assists off the bench, knocking down 5 of 9 from 3-point range. Big man Deandre Ayton had a double-double with 15 points and 10 rebounds, while Chris Paul added 14 points and six assists. 

The Suns have been rolling offensively, scoring at least 125 points in three of their last five games. Washington could be without leading scorer Bradley Beal, who exited in the fourth quarter on Tuesday with a left hamstring injury. He has already missed six games this month due to a hamstring strain, so the team may be cautious and hold him out on Wednesday night.
