76ers vs Suns Prediction
Both teams on the end of a back to back, the 76ers are going to get the slight edge because they’re at home and don’t have to travel. However, we keep backing the Suns and they keep cashing tickets. The Suns are now 29-12-2 ATS on the season, which is the best in the NBA. The Suns have covered 8 of their last 10 games, and there’s a chance they’re completely healthy, as Green returning is any day now. Home court has also been shaky for the 76ers, as it’s where 11 of their 18 losses have come. Give me the Suns in this toss up.
