The Spurs head to Washington with confidence after winning 4 of their last 5 games and they’re starting to push their claims for a West playoff spot. They’ll get another good matchup against the Wizards defence, especially versus guards. So look for DeRozan, White and Murray to put up solid numbers.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Westbrook and Beal have led the Wizards to an 8 game winning streak and playoffs are now within reach for this team. They’ve also won 5 straight home games and come off a 119-110 victory over the Cavs on Monday. The Spurs defence has struggled against guards lately so this is a perfect matchup for the Westbrook\/Beal combination.<\/p>\n
The head to head odds are tight at this stage, which should see a close game between two in-form teams. However, the Spurs have the wood over the Wizards, including a 20 point win over them this season.<\/p>\n

Phoenix is coming off back to back defeats against the Celtics & Nets. In both games, their defence has struggled so that will be a focus of this team on Tuesday, especially against Randle.<\/p>\n New York will be eager to win a 10th straight game in what has been a great run. They should have a good chance for number 10 as the Suns have struggled in their last 2 games. Julius Randle has been the major factor in the Knicks winning streak and he’s coming off 30+ pts in 6 of his last 7 games.<\/p>\n The total for this game at the moment (215.5 pts) looks a tad low considering the trends. At this venue, the Knicks are 4-1 against the Over and Julius Randle should be a tough matchup for the Suns. Phoenix are 11-4 against the Over in their last 15 games as well.<\/p>\n Stadium Record<\/strong><\/p>\n New York has won all of their last 5 home games. The Suns are 4-2 at this venue, which includes 2 big wins in the last 2 alone.<\/p>\n Head to Head Record<\/strong><\/p>\n Since 2016, the Suns are 6-4 against New York and have won the last 4 meetings as well.<\/p>\n
