A new unbalanced poster is looming in the NBA between the Phoenix Suns and the Washington Wizards. The meeting will be held at the Mortgage Matchup Center this Monday at 2:00 a.m. Phoenix is once again fighting for the qualifying places in the playoffs with a record of 23 wins and 15 losses. Seventh in the Western Conference, the Suns are going through a good period at the start of 2026. As proof, they shone by defeating the reigning champion, the Oklahoma City Thunder, with a score of 108-105. They confirmed by defeating the New York Knicks 112-107. Only the Houston Rockets were able to beat Jordan Ott’s men (100-97), while the latter were back-to-back and, moreover, on the outside. However, the Suns immediately set the record straight by correcting the Memphis Grizzlies on their floor 117-98.
Washington, for its part, seems to be trapped in an endless nightmare that repeats itself every year. Indeed, the franchise finds itself penultimate in the Eastern Conference with a negative record of 10 victories for 27 defeats. The Wizards had a bad quarter of an hour when hosting the Minnesota Timberwolves, losing heavily 141-115. They then revived to everyone’s surprise by winning 120-112 against an Orlando Magic team which is currently experiencing a big drop in performance. However, it was only a flash in the pan as Brian Keefe’s men were then crushed 131-110. They hit rock bottom against the New Orleans Pelicans, who annihilated them with a score of 128-107.
