I was a bit on the fence with this spread at Suns -6.5, but now that it has dropped a point we'll grab it. Washington lost excellent young center Thomas Bryant to a torn ACL over the weekend and won't have Russell Westbrook on Monday (see news feed story) due to a quad injury. Phoenix is healthy and Devin Booker & Co. should torch a Wizards defense allowing a league-high 122.7 points.

The Suns have covered eight of their last 10 road games, and 17 of their last 21 overall. They should handle a short-handed Wizards team that cannot defend and has lost three straight. Lay it.
