Wizards

After dropping six games in a row, the Wizards snapped their losing streak on Wednesday with an impressive victory over the Philadelphia 76ers.

Things don't get any easier for Washington moving forward, though, as the Western Conference's No. 1 seed, the Phoenix Suns, come to town on Saturday night in what's the start of a brutal three-game stretch for the Wizards.

WIZARDS vs SUNS PLAYERS TO WATCH: 

Spencer Dinwiddie, PG, Wizards: With Bradley Beal (wrist) sidelined for at least another week, Spencer Dinwiddie will need to step up on the offensive end of the floor. Dinwiddie will look to pick up where he left off on Wednesday when he posted his first career triple-double against the Sixers.

Devin Booker, SG, Suns: One of the best pure scorers in the NBA, Washington will have its hands full trying to slow down Devin Booker, who was just named to his third consecutive All-Star team. Booker has averaged 33.3 points over his past six games, including a 43-point outburst against the Jazz on Jan. 26. Slowing Booker will be a key focus for Washington's defense on Saturday night.
