My Prediction
Phoenix Suns by 11In the world of bouncing balls and sweaty men, we have on our roster what seems to be a lopsided match between the Phoenix Suns and the Washington Wizards. I hope the spectators at the Verizon Center have stocked up on their popcorn and personal dignity.
Why do I say lopsided, you ask? Well, let's roll out the Suns first. With a golden roster featuring Kevin Durant and Devin Booker leading the offensive charge. Durant, who averaged 28.3 points last month, along with Booker's 24.9 points, is like the dual flame thrower, ensuring the Suns don't go cold on the court. Toss in the able Bradley Beal and Grayson Allen to the mix, and we've got ourselves a recipe for a high-scoring game.
Switching perspectives to the Wizards, the magic doesn't seem to be working for them this season. I won't call them muggles, but they surely need a sip of Felix Felicis. Top players Jordan Poole and Malcolm Brogdon have done their bit with an average of 24.1 and 13.9 points per game respectively in the last month, but that hasn't been enough to lift them from the bottom of the Eastern Conference ladder.
Looking back at the past skirmishes between these two, the Suns have walked away grinning on both occasions. Phoenix's season hasn't been a beach holiday, perched precariously at rank 11 in the Western Conference, barely fluttering on the cusp with a 19-20 win-loss record. But as per basketball's unwritten rule, even the mightiest of wizards must quiver before the face of a lumbering sun.
So, ladies and gents, put on your shades and SPF 50 because this tilt might get a tad hot. Unless of course, a fortune cookie prophesied a sudden meteor storm wiping out Phoenix's basketball prowess. But let's not hold our breath for the unlikely.
Albert’s Prediction: Phoenix Suns by 11.
