Washington at Phoenix

At 13-11 on the season, the Washington Wizards are not off to an encouraging start. Complicating matters is the loss of do-everything PG John Wall with an injured knee. It is tough to find the lost 20 points per game he had been contributing, but more importantly, his nine + assists per contest. It is taking Washington longer to go through their offensive sets and the options for points and assists are much reduced. As a result, four of their last five games without Wall have played UNDER the total. Phoenix has a similar issue as they will hit the court for the first time this season without their offensive leader Devon Booker and his 24 ppg and four assists. This is a game without each team's best offensive weapons and that means longer offensive sets, with less efficiency. Play on the UNDER in this one.
