Phoenix Suns vs Philadelphia 76ers Prediction 3-20-24 Picks

The Philadelphia 76ers and Phoenix Suns meet Wednesday in NBA action at the Footprint Center. We will look at this from a betting perspective and determine the best bets for this game. Here’s a Philadelphia 76ers vs Phoenix Suns prediction.

Philadelphia 76ers

The Philadelphia 76ers are slowly starting to turn things around as they’ve won three of their last five games overall and they will be aiming for a third straight win after sneaking past the Heat in a 98-91 home win on Monday. Tyrese Maxey led the team with 30 points, eight rebounds and 10 assists, Kelly Oubre Jr added 22 points with 11 rebounds and five blocks while Kyle Lowry chipped in with 16 points. As a team, the 76ers shot 43 percent from the field and 13 of 36 from the 3-point line, but they were on point defensively in the third quarter where they restricted the Heat to just 16 points to lead by as many as 17 points at one point.

Phoenix Suns

Meanwhile, the Phoenix Suns have been in decent shape as they’ve won four of their last seven games overall, but they will be hoping to bounce back in this one after getting run over by the Bucks in a 140-129 road loss on Sunday. Bradley Beal led the team with 28 points and seven assists on 11 of 15 shooting, Grayson Allen added 25 points with eight assists while Devin Booker chipped in with 23 points, nine rebounds and six assists. As a team, the Suns shot a sizzling 58 percent from the field and 14 of 33 from the 3-point line, but they were horrible on defense to start the game and were never in the contest after getting outscored by 82-60 in the first half.

76ers vs Suns prediction

The 76ers are still missing some players with Joel Embiid still out and Tobias Harris listed as questionable, while the Suns are still without Josh Okogie and Bol Bol. The 76ers are starting to heat up again after struggling for a few weeks there, but it’s going to be tough to keep it going against this Suns team who have all their key players healthy and playing well. Sure, the Suns didn’t look great in their loss to the Bucks, but they will be well-rested as they haven’t played since Sunday and I think they get the job done at home in this spot.
