Phoenix -1.5

Phoenix Suns are in really hot form now, and you can definitely say that the run and gun game is the only way that the Suns now how to play.

Compare the Suns to the Suns of a year ago, much younger now, no Shaq to dominate inside, Leandro Barbosa is hurting, but still the job is being done and in fact, reminds you of the days in the past with Marion, Stoudemire, Richardson, Nash and Barbosa.

Last time around, the Suns put on impressive show against the Eastern Conference powerhouse, the Celtics. Jason Richardson was on fire, and well supported by a rejuvenated Steve Nash and Amare Stoudemire, who seemed to all be on the same page, as they finally go in search of the elusive crown.

The Wizards on the other hand have been struggling due to numerous injury concerns. Antawn Jamison is already out of action for a few months and now another potential scorer in Mike Miller has been injured, which will make it difficult for Arenas and Butler to carry on the scoring load.

Randy Foye, Nick Young, Deshawn Stevenson and Blatche all try to contribute to their game, but are not up to the aggressive nature that they should be taking on.

The Suns have been great on this East Coast swing, only losing to the Magic, where they started well but lost the plot due to their poor interior defense, which is something they wont have to worry against the Wizards tonight.

Washington has lost 4 of the last 5 games against the spread.

Washington has also lost 16 of the last 19 games against the spread when the line posted is between +3 and -3.

Its still a little early for me to post any leans Creepa.  As i said i really dont feel comfortable doing that but the Wizzards dont look like they will be a play for me tomorrow as of now.
