The Philadelphia 76ers invade the Mortgage Matchup Center to battle the Phoenix Suns on Saturday night. Here’s a Suns vs 76ers Prediction. This article will include a Suns vs 76ers Pick.
Philadelphia 76ers Betting Preview
The Philadelphia 76ers are starting to heat up as they were riding a five-game win streak before they got stopped in their tracks by the Lakers in a 119-115 road defeat on Thursday. Joel Embiid led the team with 35 points, seven rebounds and seven assists on 13 of 19 shooting, Tyrese Maxey added 26 points with 13 assists while VJ Edgecombe chipped in with 19 points, 10 rebounds, and four steals. As a team, the 76ers shot 54 percent from the field and a miserly five of 24 from the 3-point line as they got off to a solid start and looked to be in control after taking an early 14-point lead. However, they leaked 68 points in the second half as they just had no answer for the Lakers’ Austin Reaves, who poured in 35 points off the bench.
Phoenix Suns Betting Preview
Meanwhile, the Phoenix Suns have been in fine form as they’ve won seven of their last 11 games overall, but they will be looking to bounce back here after falling just short to the Warriors in a disappointing 101-97 loss on Thursday. Dillon Brooks led the team with 24 points on 10 of 24 shooting, Grayson Allen added 21 points with five rebounds and four assists while Mark Williams tallied 11 points with 10 rebounds. As a team, the Suns shot 46 percent from the field and 16 of 43 from the 3-point line as they dominated the third quarter by 27-17. They looked to be in full control when they led by 14 points in the fourth quarter, before they went ice cold and got outscored by 25-7 in the final 9:16 to allow the Warriors off the hook.

Suns vs 76ers Prediction
The 76ers are almost at full health for this one except for Paul George, who is still sitting out with a suspension. The Suns have ruled out Jalen Green and Devin Booker, with Grayson Allen and Cole Anthony both listed as day-to-day. These two squads last met on Jan. 20, and it was the Suns who won by 116-110, and I think we’re in for another close contest. The 76ers were on fire before they lost a close one to the Lakers on Thursday, and you could almost say the same about the Suns, who definitely should have beaten the Warriors in their last outing. It’s difficult to split these two squads currently, but with the line so short, I will lean towards the Suns to get a narrow win and cover at home.
