So, let’s see if we can keep this going with the breakdown for March 27, 2019: the Washington Wizards at Phoenix Suns game.

Historical Numbers Against the Spread

The Washington Wizards currently sit 11th in the Eastern Conference with a record of 30-45 (3-7 in their last 10), while the Suns sit last in the Western Conference with a record of 17-58 (3-7 in their last 10).

Wizards Historical Numbers Against the Spread

Washington had high hopes this season, but are now pretty much eliminated from the playoffs. Overall, the Wizards have been one of the worst teams to bet on this season going 35-40 ATS. The Wizards have some of the highest home/road splits of any team in the league this year going 23-14 ATS (ranked 3rd) at home and 12-25 ATS on the road (worst in the league) including a 3-7 ATS record as a road favorite. The Wizards do come into this game with no rest, a scenario in which they are 12-3 ATS, but with them being pretty much eliminated from the playoffs, it would surprise me if they give their best players a full compliment of minutes. Overall, this is a below average spot for the Wizards to cover the spread.

Suns Historical Numbers Against the Spread

As of right now, the Suns are one of the most likely candidates to get the 1st overall pick in the upcoming draft and have been well below average for bettors this seast at 34-41 ATS (5th worst in the league). Looking at Phoenix home/road splits, they have pretty much covered at the same rate on the road and at home.
