#SunsAtWizards: 5 Things to Watch
1 / 6Before each game, Suns.com previews the action by drawing five key factors from an overall pool of 10: big men, guard play, key matchup, defense, shooting, injuries, styles, momentum, hot/cold hand and motivation. Up to now, the majority of Phoenix’s Eastern Conference opponents have been the forgettable, punchline-creating sort. Sunday’s opponent presents a different quality, with a hint of a ‘B’ in front of the ‘East’. At 19-6, the Wizards would very much be a playoff team out West, a top-four seed even. As it is, they are the second-best squad in the league’s right-hand hemisphere. The Suns, then, will need even more than what they showed in single-digit wins at Charlotte and New York.
