The Phoenix Suns, under new head coach Jordan Ott, have transitioned to a team-oriented style of basketball, showcasing impressive form recently. They've secured a three-game winning streak, including a 123-114 victory over the New Orleans Pelicans, marked by efficient three-point shooting and seven steals. Seven Suns players scored in double figures, highlighting their strong teamwork. The Washington Wizards are experiencing a resurgence, with a recent 116-112 comeback win against the Memphis Grizzlies, their second victory over the Grizzlies in nine days. Coach Brian Keefe emphasized defense as the key to their success. The Wizards face significant lineup challenges, particularly on the front line, due to multiple key player absences. KeyShawn George is out with a hip injury, Corey Kispert is sidelined with a hamstring issue, and Cameron Whitmore is indefinitely out with a right shoulder injury, severely impacting their offensive capabilities. While the Suns have their core players available, they face setbacks in their perimeter rotation. Grayson Allen is out due to right knee injury management, and Jalen Green is unavailable with a right hamstring strain. Match Prediction: New York Knicks vs. Phoenix Suns - Away Win
