How to Bet: Suns Look for Revenge vs. Wizards

In this story:
The Phoenix Suns received some not ideal news on Devin Booker earlier today, as the star shooting guard was revealed to have strained his groin and will be re-evaluated in four weeks.
For now, the Suns hope to move forward without one of the league's best shooters on an extended basis, and although that's not preferred in any aspect, Phoenix is confident others can step up in his absence.
In example, last night's victory over the Memphis Grizzlies saw the Suns win without Booker, Landry Shamet or Cam Payne available.
Phoenix would like to gain some revenge tonight when the Washington Wizards play host to the Suns. The Wizards previously stopped what was a ten-game losing streak last week with a win in Phoenix.
Here’s how to bet tonight’s action:
Action Network Offers First Basket Advice
"The sportsbooks expect Phoenix to win the tip and score first based on the odds available. Devin Booker is out for Phoenix and Chris Paul is questionable. If Paul can’t play, they Suns have only one healthy guard in Damion Lee. For the Wizards, Bradley Beal is questionable with a hamstring injury.
"I expect the Wizards to win the tip tonight. Beal and Porzingis have each taken the first team field goal attempt in 35% of games started. Kuzma also has taken the first shot in 24% of games started.
"I like Porzingis to score first tonight, and I’ll roll the dice with Beal’s injury hoping he starts as my other option. Sportsbooks generally void any bet on a player that does not start, so there is no risk on the injury front. And if Beal is out, I would expect the odds for Porzingis to fall significantly.
Pick: Beal (+850 down to +600, 0.4 units at PB)
Pick: Porzingis (+700 down to +475, 0.6 units)

Sportsbook Wire Says Take the Over
"OVER 223.5 (-112) is where I’m leaning in this game regardless of Booker’s status. The Suns have put up 125 points in back-to-back games and those came against solid defensive teams in the Grizzlies and the Denver Nuggets.
"The Suns have hit the Over in 8 of their last 9 games against a team with a winning home record. The Over is 4-1 in the last 5 meetings between these sides in Washington and 7-2 in the last 9 meetings overall."
