Overview
- Tipoff is set for 7 p.m. ET in Washington, where Phoenix (18-13) seeks a fourth straight win against the Wizards (7-23).
- Phoenix will be without center Mark Williams for one game after his ejection in New Orleans; Pelicans guard Jose Alvarado received two games.
- The Wizards aim for a third consecutive victory after taking four of their past seven, their strongest stretch since a 1-15 start.
- Injury reports list Washington’s Corey Kispert (hamstring), Cam Whitmore (shoulder) and Kyshawn George (hip) out, with Phoenix’s Grayson Allen (knee) and Jalen Green (hamstring) out and Ryan Dunn day-to-day (knee).
- Devin Booker leads the Suns at 25.4 points and 6.5 assists, and Phoenix has leaned on high-volume threes and a league-leading steals total as Sarr’s recent 20-point, nine-rebound, six-block outing spotlights Washington’s defensive uptick.
